 WildWill

Pirates of the Barbary Coast – Tiger’s Breath #134

 

Name:  Tiger’s Breath

Set: PBC

Card #: 134

Rarity: Super Rare

Type: Ship

Cost: 9 Points

Masts: 2

Cannons 3S, 3S

Cargo: 4

Movement: 1S+1S

Faction: Jade Rebellion

 

Ability -  Junk. This ship may dock and explore a wild island using the same move action.

Flavor Text – “The Tiger’s Breath sails only at night, and yet even by lantern light her crew can find gold other ships can’t see even in the day.”

Built in explorer action, that never sucks.  Low point cost, decent cargo, and mediocre cannons typically mean a treasure runner, which she certainly is.  And again, another sneak is actually playable right now.  These ships are so much better than Star of Siam, and the Asp from Revolution

 

 

WildWill’s Patented Ebay Auction Report 12-21-05

 

Again, there are NO broken up actions for these Super-Rares, but several Ebay stores have this ship for between $10 and $12.  I wouldn’t pay more than $7.50, but that’s just me.

 

My Ratings:

Playability 4 of 5

Collectability 5 of 5

 

Next Week: There may only be one review next week because of the holidays…but it’ll be a doozy and it will be relevant!  Yo Yo Yo…err…I mean Ho Ho Ho.

 

Aethereal Tiger's Breath

Another Junk. This one comes with a free Explorer ability attached, has average S+S movement, and only costs 9 points. Cool. Then you see that it only has four cargo spaces. Eh. The Junk ability on this thing is really pointless as this isn't a good gunship at all...only two 3S cannons. 9 points is kinda cheap for what you get, I suppose, but this thing seems like it's trying to be a treasure hauler and somewhat of a shooter at the same time, and it's bad at both. If it had 1 more cargo slot, I'd consider it, because the S+S movement is just begging for a Helmsman to be added, reducing you to actually only having 3 slots.
That's not enough for my taste. Play Banshee's Cry instead of this, at least it doesn't need a Helmsman and costs a lot less.

Rating: 2/5
