Name: Lynch's Noose
Card: SM # EC-010 (Common)
Points: 2
Faction: England

Ability: **This ship gets +1 to her boarding rolls.

There are a lot of crew out there that give +1 on boarding rolls. Most of them cost 4 points, which is excessive. This one costs only 2 (the WizKids card gallery says 4, but that's not what my card says), which is the cheapest you can pay for this ability.

Is it worth it? +1 equals a 17% improvement in your chances of winning a boarding action, which isn't bad. The trouble is, boarding isn't a very good tactic, because you usually have to ram to do it, and that gets you pinned. If you want gold, boarding is a waste of time; if your goal is to kill enemy crew, it's a better deal. Putting this crew on a ship like HMS Viceroy, which cannot be pinned, would be the best use for him.

The ability isn't great, but the price is right, so I give the Noose above-average marks.

Total rating: 3.5 / 5
