Nautical Trivia The Sailing Board Game

The first board game that combines the strategy of a sailing race with the popular concept of a trivia game. For the sailor who thought he had everything... now there is Nautical Trivia!  Sold in maritime museums and yacht club's worldwide.

Quality... Every aspect of the game: the breathtaking nautical graphics, the pewter playing pieces, the challenging nautical trivia questions, the unpredictable chance cards, and its exciting play...Nautical Trivia was created and designed for those who demand quality.

Excitement... Whether you are a serious sailor, sailing enthusiast or have ever dreamed about sailing, Nautical Trivia offers you all the exciting elements of actual sailing! Nautical Trivia has captured the mystique of blue water racing by simulating the sailing elements of changing winds, changing tides, tacking, racing strategy (block your opponent's wind!!!) and nautical knowledge to enjoy anytime, anywhere, at your command.

Challenging... A roll of the cube determines whether the driving force that propels your boat will be by knowledge or by chance. Nautical Trivia's challenging questions (many in true/false and multiple choice format) will test your knowledge of nautical history, the America's Cup, historic lighthouses, navigation, boating safety, famous shipwrecks, infamous pirates and world geography. The "Jolly Roger" and "Treasure Chest" chance cards are designed to impact the outcome of the race with unpredictable variables based on actual sailing situations. Just when you thought it was smooth sailing, a "Jolly Roger" hurricane card blows all boats off course out to open sea!!!

“Nautical Trivia is a great distraction from those afternoon doldrums. Playing this challenging sailing game incorporates many of the variables incurred under sail…It’s a good time and there is something here for every level”.

Rachelle Nelson, Contributing Editor

Yachting World

“The game asks players to agree on a course around Bermuda...then roll a die to decide whether they receive a nautical question, a treasure trove card that helps them or a black skull card that hinders them...with beautifully made pewter playing piees of little heeling sailboats and good questions, this game should provide many hours...”

Cruising World

“If it’s wet outside and you’re confined below, while away the time with Nautical Trivia …Design your own racecourse, then power your sailboat marker around it, with your extensive knowledge of things maritime its driving force…As an old salt you can’t lose, right? Wind direction can change at the roll of a die or at the whim of a card, the tide can turn and leave you aground, or you can flub the answers to the questions and remain stationary-just like real sailboat racing”.
