Powder Pete - EC-011

Today we have the English Crew: Powder Pete. According to his flavor text, he took off his superior's right arm, so now he is his right hand man. *cricket noise* *cricket noise* Yeah, not funny. But, Powder Pete... Carbon Charile... Do they have anything to do with a carbonated powder drink mix? That would have been funny on the flavor text. But is he a worthwile crew? My sources say no. maybe if he didn't take up a cargo space and was 0 points, his usability would be a lot higher. But alas, he is not. He is 2 points and only gives a single point addition to a gold when you unload. Which, by the way, you could have used the cargo space to just take a gold (that could be of a higher form anyway). There are better crew out there. But if you find yourself in lack of a single gold point to win all the time, your welcome to use him.

Rating: 1/5
Collectability: 1/5
 
Richard Powder Pete

Powder Pete is one of a number of characters with this modest ability.
In simple terms, you pay two extra points, in return for which, you can gain one extra treasure (victory) point, when you unload gold on your home island.
It seems a bit of a thin deal to me.
Given that in a typical 40 – 50 point game, you are chasing 20 – 25 victory points, I suppose that one extra point might make a difference, and might be worth sacrificing two build points for... But personally, I’d always be looking to make that points investment in something more useful – like a ship with bigger guns or greater cargo capacity!

My rating – 2/5. Pete’s alright - but a bit feeble.
