Flavor Text:  “The Star of Siam had just raided an American ship leaving the Barbary Coast for the Americas when Wesley captured her, claiming the ship and her swollen cargo holds for himself.”

Another speedy Galley Super-Rare, the Star of Siam is actually somewhat playable at this point in the game.  Not for her cannons, but rather she’s awfully speedy, with 3S movement before ANY modifiers.  Really, all she needs is an explorer and she’s a pretty fast treasure hauler.  Her cannons won’t really be much of a deterrant to any opponent, but at least she has the ability to move without any masts.  And at 8 points she can fit in almost any fleet.  Of all the Super-Rare pieces in the preview pack, Star of Siam is the definite winner in terms of sheer playability.

 

Star of Siam (142) Completed Auction Review – 8-5-05

# of completed Auctions: 4

High Amount: $11.59

Low Amount:  $  9.99

Average Amount $10.43

 

Once again, a big winner as far as collectability, because of that Super-Rare rarity.  If you break down the average value of all four items in the super-rare pack you get the following:

 

Piece Name

Average

Star of Siam

$10.43

Asp

$10.41

Wesley

$12.37

Chainshot Specialist

$5.00

Total Average Value

$38.21

 

There are three closed auctions for the full pack, and they average at $28.88, so obviously your best bet if you want these super-rares is to purchase the full pack.

 

My Ratings

Playability 4 of 5

Collectability 5 of 5

 

Next time – Well, we’ve done two full weeks of Pirates, and not much of anything else.  It’s IM Einstein’s picks, and he hasn’t made them yet.
