Ability: Once per turn, if this ship is touching another ship, reveal all face-down treasure aboard the other ship. This ship can take as much unique treasure from the other ship as she can carry.

I liked yesterday's ship, the Divine Dragon. This one, on the other hand, I hate. She is named for the wife of Baron Samedi, a loa (spirit) of the voudun (voodoo), and if I were her, I'd be very annoyed that they'd used my name for such a wretched ship.

I'll start with the good news: her cargo capacity is good. That's it.
Her speed is horrible, which is the kiss of death in my rating system.
Her cannons are the worst I've seen since some of those awful Barbary galleys, like the Marrakesh (4S, 5S, 6S). Her ability might be even more useless than the "ignore terrain" ability, since she has to ram or be rammed for it to work, and she's too slow for ramming and too big to attract a ram. And how many ships wind up with more than one unique treasure in a typical game, anyway? Good ones, I mean.

If I may turn a song about war into a song about this ship, "What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!" I gave it a rating of 1 because they won't let me give it a zero.

Sorry I haven't been on for a while, finals have been my life for the past week or so. Anyway, on to the new ship, Maman Brigitte. Hah, it was hilarious when I pulled the Deliverance and my friend pulled the Brigitte in our sealed. Pure carnage.

So anyway, what is Maman Brigitte? According to Wikipedia is a death loa, the wife of Baron Samedi. OOOooh...spooky. Too bad the ship stinks. Its ability is useless because of its speed, not to mention the ability is situational, its cannons couldn't hit La Manila, and well, the ship stinks. I'm sorry, there are ZERO redeeming qualities about this ship. Undoubtedly the worst 4 master in the game, and I would say the worst ship in the game. Yeah, sure, it looks spooky.

Well, so does every other Cursed ship. My advice? Don't use this ship.
If I could give it a 0, I would. But I can't, so I'm going to give it a 1. You know, out of all the horribly overpriced, useless Cursed ships I've seen, this is the worst. Like I said, I give it a 1.
