Magazine Reviews:
Chesapeake Bay Magazine
“Nautical Trivia is the first board game to combine the America’s Cup with
Trivial Pursuit…Good for sailing families or people learning the ropes”.
Jane Meneely, Managing Editor
Cruising World Magazine
“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”. Jeremy McGeary (New Products),
Associate Editor

“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 Magazine
“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 pieces of little heeling sailboats and good questions, this game
should provide entertainment for many hours...” Tim

courses around which you and your competitors move sailboat markers at speeds
determined by your general knowledge of things maritime”.
