The second Super Rare set of the Farthest Shore! That’s right, the Farthest Shore has two Super Rare sets, which would have made collectors and players crazy I’m sure.

Maelstom’s Vortex
Cursed
Points:
Masts: 5
Cannons: 2S-3L-3L-3L-2S
Cargo: 4
Movement: L
Ability: Once per turn, one Nexus Alliance piece within L of this ship cannot use its…[Read more]

“The Code, Broadsides Attack, pg 19”

The ability “L-range cannons cannot hit this ship” does not make a ship an invalid target, even if the attacker has
only L-range cannons available. It can prevent a shot from hitting, but does not prevent the shot from being made.

Would I be correct in interpreting this to mean that if a ship has only L ran…[Read more]

The last three Ionic crew from the Farthest Shore! All that is left now to see are the SE and LE ships!

Valag
Points: 7
Ability: Black Mark. Captain. Hoarding Gold.

Flavor: Valag thinks highly of herself, always has. As a result of this, many do not like her. Valag takes their disdain and sometimes open hostility in stride, preferring to be…[Read more]

The last two Nexus Alliance crew!

Sensei Garmadon
Points: ?
Ability: Black Mark. Each time an enemy ship misses a shot against this ship, eliminate a mast from the attacking ship.

Flavor: It is said that Garmadon is the brother of Sensei Wu, a strange tale if true, for never were there two people so opposite in character. Where Wu is kind and…[Read more]

Final two islands from the Farthest Shore!

Nexus Outpost
Effect:
This island can only be used as a wild island. If a fort is built on this island, that fort  gets +1 to its cannon rolls against targets within S of this island.

Port Plunder
Effects:
1-2: Ancient Ruins: If this ship is carrying a unique treasure, place it on this island.…[Read more]

Link: Cap’n Horatio…[Read more]

Some big pieces there!  As we might expect from the SR’s for a big set.  🙂

For Nexus Knight, I personally would replace “so long as” with “if”.

Just wait for the rest of the LE section…… 😀 Noted, revising.

——————————————————————————–

Three more SE ships today, the last Sea Dragons…[Read more]

It’s time for some Super Rares!

The last two Treasures of the Farthest Shore!

Blue Imaginite
Ability: This ship gets +1 cargo spaces for every Blue Imaginite on board, up to a total of 3. When unloaded at your home island, roll a D6 twice. Blue Imaginite is worth gold equal to the result.

Orb of Guidance
Ability: If loaded by a Nexus Alliance ship, this ship gets +1 to…[Read more]

We loop back to the Ionics today, with three more of their crew from the Farthest Shore!

Amanat
Points: 9
Ability: Captain. Instead of giving this ship an action, you may give any ship in your fleet two actions.

Flavor: Amanat has learned from some of the greatest tactical minds among the Ionics. Garan and Amakav both have high regard and…[Read more]

Two more islands from the Farthest Shore, and these might be a doozy of a pair.

Crux Prime
Effects:
1-2: Maelstrom Quarry: Eliminate all treasure coins from this island and up to two masts from this ship.
3-4: Monastery Ruins: Replace one of the treasures loaded by this ship with a Unique Treasure of your choice from outside of the game.
5-6:…[Read more]

The first LE ships we see of the Farthest Shore, with the return of a rather infamous ship from Fire and Steel.

Morning Star
Ionic
Points: 19
Masts: 5
Cannons: 2S-3L-3L-3L-2S
Cargo: 5
Movement: S+S
Ability: If this ship is assigned a Captain and Musketeer crew, she gets +S to her base move and +1 to her cannon rolls.

Flavor: The Mourning…[Read more]

This effect covers a huge area, but the penalty is incredibly harsh, to the point that it’s almost unusable, especially for 26 points.   Unless you manage to catch the rare empty ship with it, a single use could shut this dragon down for a major portion of the game.

Losing a turn for each affected ship would be more reasonable, even if that mea…

As written, the secondary, non-Nexus effect of this will almost never occur, because players generally aren’t going to be exploring wild islands with enemy ships that close, especially one that hasn’t already explored the island first and taken this for itself.

The non-Nexus effect is meant to function like Bones Wiley. If the treasure is loa…[Read more]

Two more SE ships from the Farthest Shore!

Black Snout
Cursed
Points: 26
Masts: 4
Cannons: 3S-3S-3L-2L
Cargo: 0
Movement: D
Ability: Sea Dragon. Give this dragon a shoot action. A wind gust L wide and L+L+L long leaves this dragon in one direction. Every ship caught in the gust loses up to two masts and is moved S in the same direction as the…[Read more]

Two more treasures from the Farthest Shore!

Green Imaginite
Ability: Load this treasure face-down. You may reveal this treasure at the beginning of your turn before you give this ship an action. Choose one of the following: when given a shoot action, this ship may be given an extra shoot action; when given a move action this ship gets +L to…[Read more]

We start a new cycle with the Ionics and two more of their crew!

Tusem
Points: 3
Ability: This crew takes up no cargo space when revealed. When revealed, put a crew with point cost 3 or less from outside of the game onto this ship.

Flavor: Fast-talking and self-promoting, Tusem has an eye for talent. His fast talking nature hides a cold soul…[Read more]

Two more crew for the Alliance as this cycle comes to a close!

Arti Lation
Points: 6
Ability: Musketeer. Marine.

Flavor: Arti Lation is older than the Alliance, a member of Harlan Storm’s original pirate crew. He has survived countless battles, and is the most veteran soldier still on active duty for the Alliance.

Commander Kai B…[Read more]

Two more crew as we near the end of the Nexus Alliances regular line up!

Roger Forrest
Points: 3
Ability: Once per turn, before you give this ship an action, roll a d6. On a 5-6, this ship may be given the Same Action Twice.

Flavor: Roger Forrest is special, not because he is a tactical or strategic genius. Nor is he a particularly gifted…[Read more]

Personally I wouldn’t give such large discounts. Both Rowls would normally be 2 points higher

I was thinking something similar as I posted them. I don’t think I want to go with full accurate cost, but I’ll bring them up a point each.
