This week, we look at ships with colors in their
names. Of the ones we haven't reviewed yet, the
Golden Medusa may be the best of the bunch.
She's a fine ship, with excellent speed, decent
cargo, and good cannons.
You could leave her crewless and use her for gold if
the situation permits, or give her a fighting crew
and use those good cannons on the enemy. Her linked
crew, Lady Baptiste, gives a reroll, which is good
for shooting and great for boarding. This makes her
an above-average triple threat. Her point cost
reflects this; it's high for a Pirate, but not at
all out of line for what you're getting.
The Revolution release gave the Pirates two fine
four-masted schooners, the Neptune's Hoard and this
one. Both are flexible in their roles, something I
always like. The Hoard is the better gold ship,
while the Medusa is the better fighter. The two of
them would make quite a team.
The Golden Medusa will be an asset to any Pirate
fleet she joins.
