Blown Away

“18th Century Naval Combat. Abstract skirmish level Ship combat. Each figure represents a single Ship (unit). Victory: You win if you Sink the opposing Flagship.” The game is played on an 8x8 grid or chessboard. Miniatures or counters are used to represent the ships. Each player starts with an identical assortment of ships: one Flagship, two Ships of the Line, two Frigates, and three Sloops. The game uses a custom deck of cards which is central to the play of the game. The players draw a hand of cards from the common deck, and card play determines when units may move, attack, or defend.
