Description

The Far Seas is a classic board game that drops you into the midst of World War I, where you'll embark on a thrilling adventure across the globe. As a 2-player game, you'll take on the role of either the Allies or the Germans, each with your own objectives and strategies. The Allies are on the hunt for German merchant raiders, while the Germans are out to attack convoys and evade their pursuers. With a massive map of the world as your playground, you'll need to navigate the seas, using a combination of area movement, dice rolling, and simultaneous action selection to outmaneuver your opponent. Despite being published in 1987, The Far Seas remains an engaging and challenging game, with easy-to-learn rules that belie a deeper complexity. Game designer Martin Anderson has crafted a game that requires strategic thinking and cunning, as you plot your movements and try to stay one step ahead of your opponent. With a playtime of 180 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the world of The Far Seas and experience the thrill of naval warfare. Whether you're a fan of nautical games, wargames, or just looking for a new challenge, The Far Seas is sure to deliver an exciting and unpredictable experience.
