About the game

The designers self-published a thousand copies of Regatta in 2008, and now Gigamic has picked up the game for wider distribution. To win, you must circle two buoys and cross the finish line with your wooden ship before anyone else, and to do that, on your turn you play one of five movement cards in your hand to scoot your boat across the waves. The game includes an additional, slightly more complicated way to play for when the five-year-olds go to bed. Microbadge:
