| | Does anyone remember this game? We had it when I was little, but I think it was from my mother's childhood. There was a very big board (wouldn't fit in the games cupboard), with a map of the world on, showing lots of ports. Every player had a ship, and started at whichever port they wanted, and the idea was to make money by buying cargo at one port and transporting it safely to another. You could also buy ports and charge rent to anyone else who landed on them. And the squares (lots of very little ones) were mostly normal, but there were also plenty of hazard squares, where you had to draw a card and do what it said, and the cards were instructions from the Met Office or Lloyds and such.
Ooh, happy memories ... A game could go on for ever!
