About this game

From the publisher's site: A "Revolutionary" Board Game From The Creator Of Wiz-War! Who could guess that the Boston Tea Party was much more complicated than history tells? You are one of the groups of men tossing tea into the bay. But, you’re also being paid off by one of the captains to load his tea back onto his ship. It’s hard to say what your number-one priority is; sometimes it’s easier to toss everyone else’s tea into the harbor instead of rescuing the tea belonging to the Captain that bribed you...or maybe it is just easier to eliminate the competition by squishing them between the crates... With art by The Fraim Brothers (of Knights of the Dinner Table Illustrated fame), this BOX game will be produced on high-quality chipboard for both the board and the 80 pieces.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
