In brief
Object: To be the first player to get 5 men into your boat.
Equipment: 4 x 8 pieces, "men" 4 boats playing board depicting 4 docks
It is a very simple out of print game. There is no die, cards, etc. Men move one square at a time or jump over other men in order to reach the boat of the same color that is waiting at one of the 4 docks. What makes the game fun to play is the fact that every time a player gets a man into his boat, he changes the docking positions of all the boats by moving the boats clockwise to the next dock so that all players find themselves in new situations.
Children learn the importance of waiting for the dock rather than running after it and keep MISSING THE BOAT!
