📖 About This Game

"Stay on board!" A dexterity game where players take turns loading plastic "stuff" onto a swaying cargo ship. Each player has seven containers and two barrels, one normal and one "explosive/radioactive" (twice as heavy), and a spinner determines what needs to be loaded on each player's turn. Containers must be loaded by a loading fork and must always touch previously placed containers from the same player, while barrels can be more freely placed by hand to either balance the ship or to make it trickier for the next player to load their cargo. Matters are further complicated by a pesky pelican who thinks that "Le Barjo" is simply the best perching point in the whole harbour, and always insist on sitting at the highest point of the boat. Tipping cargo overboard is bad as you get all of your own tipped cargo back, while any other players' pieces are out of the game, making it easier for them; the first one to get rid of all their cargo wins.
