Description

Get ready to set sail with Regatta, a classic board game that's been making waves since 1946. Designed by James C. Powers, Jr., this nautical racing game is perfect for 2 to 6 players looking for a fun and challenging experience that can be enjoyed in just 30 to 60 minutes. The simple rules can be explained quickly, but don't let that fool you - the game is full of subtleties that recreate the tensions of a real sailboat race. Players roll two dice to determine their movement, but the results are modified by Help and Hindrance cards, which add an extra layer of strategy to the game. As you navigate the complicated course, complete with three islands and four banks of shoals, you'll need to use your sailing skills to outmaneuver your opponents. The game takes into account the rules and realities of sailing, including right of way, tacking, and luffing. You can even try to get the inside track by maneuvering for position at the start of the game. With its extensive diagrams and instructive rulebook, Regatta is a great game for both seasoned sailors and landlubbers alike. So gather your crew and get ready to compete in a thrilling regatta that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
