Wind whining

A beautiful day at sea under a clear blue sky! This is what you were hoping for when your boats set sail in the morning. But then everything turned out differently. A thunderstorm came and took you off course. Now you have to navigate around reefs, fog banks, whirlpools and octopuses and find your way back. Which of you will reach home port with your hull (and mind) intact? Windjammern is a trick-taking game in which everyone tries to take as few tricks as possible. Windjammern was originally published in English under the name “Strife” by the author. In 2015 it was published in German by Amigo Spiele as “Texas Showdown”, but is now out of print, which is why it was high time for a new edition.
