I Received My Guichuan Today!


I received the latest Pirates promotion in the mail today! The massive 10-master, Guichuan, is truly one big ship! All of the pictures of the Guichuan I've seen on the 'net were solo pics, with no pics to compare it against other ships, so I was surprised to notice that the ship arrived as a set of oversized cards! The image above shows the comparison with a regular Pirates card.

As for stats, this is one costly ship at 30 points! You'll be bringing this guy only for the huge naval actions. When you do bring her out, she's a competent gunner with average short rangers and above average long rangers. When it comes to abilities, the Guichuan is pretty powerful as a hauler, with the abilities of Ghost Ship, Junk, and Treasure Ship.

In addition to the ship, we also receive a crew card, The Headhunter, a special version of the crew originally found in the Pirates of the South China Seas set. This version of the vile crew member has a specific ability tied to the Guichuan, Headhunter's Domain.

In all, for 12 game packs of Davy Jones' Curse and some shipping and handling, you get a cool ship and crew. It's worth sending in those packs!
