Publisher's Description:

Raise the battle sails! Run out the guns! There's an ENEMY IN SIGHT, broadsides to be fired, prizes to be taken and fun to be had in this exciting game of skill and luck depicting the age of fighting sail.
John Paul Jones and Lord Nelson will sail the seas again on your kitchen table in this simple recreation of 18th century naval combat suitable for the entire family.

HMS Victory, USS Constitution ... Old Ironsides itself... they're all here ... from the mighty Ships of the Line to the fast and mobile American frigates capable of making 14 knots in an open sea. Break the Line, rake the enemy's bow, set her afire and send across a Boarding Party to take her home as a Prize. Blockades, Fire Ships, Running Aground and the Weathergauge all play a role in a constantly evolving naval battle reminiscent of Hornblower at his audacious best.

So board your 'Ragwagon' and join the fleet ... for 2-8 players, ages 10 and up.
