Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Capt. Elizabeth Swann
Card: PotC #018 (Rare)
Points: 6
Faction: Pirates

Ability: Once at the beginning of each of your turns, roll a d6. On a result of 6, any ship in your fleet can be given two actions that turn.

Elizabeth is an "admiral" crew, who gives an extra action to any ship in her fleet. She's no different than most other admirals, like Commodore Edward Preble (USA) or Amiral Gaston de St. Croix (France). But if you're playing Pirates, you'd be better off with Jean Lafitte; he has the same ability for one point less.

Giving a ship an extra move is nice, in theory. But if you can't predict when it will happen, and if it's only a 1 in 6 chance, it usually isn't very helpful. I don't consider crew like these to be a good value, not compared to some crew you could spend six points on, like the OE Calico Cat (2nd action for her own ship on a 5-6, plus a world-hater). If you really want to give Captain Swann a try, I'd put her on a ship with a reroll crew like the SCS Calico Cat, to give her a second chance at rolling a 6 each turn.

I liked Elizabeth in the movies, but this card just doesn't do it for me.

Gold crew rating: 2.5 / 5
Gun crew rating: 2.8 / 5

Overall value: 2.4 / 5
