All aboard!

“We sink!” shouts the elephant, “That mouse is too heavy!” But fear not, the lion whispers, “If I eat the giraffe, we can lose a little weight.”

Welcome to All Aboard!, a thrilling card game where strategy meets humor as you navigate your colorful crew of animals to safety! Your goal? Ensure that no boat exceeds its capacity—because if it does, it will sink!

Designed by the creative Paco Yánez and beautifully illustrated by Monsuros, this delightful game is perfect for 2 to 5 players aged 7 and up, with fun-packed sessions lasting around 20 minutes.

At the start of the game, each player receives a unique set of 12 cards featuring adorable animal friends: the mouse, peacock, fox, octopus, monkey, sloth, elk, zebra, giraffe, lion, bear, and elephant. The game unfolds over 4 exciting rounds, each divided into two main phases: Boarding the Boats and Setting Sail.

During the boarding phase, players take turns placing one animal face-up in any boat, but keep in mind—no more than 3 animals can fit in each! Then, a second animal is placed face down, followed by a third that goes back face-up into the available boats. Strategy and timing are essential!

Once boarding is complete, it’s time to Set Sail. Reveal all the face-down animal cards and check for pairs! If two of the same kind appear, they fall in love, earning points for their players. If three appear? Chaos ensues as they fight, causing the boat to sink! Players then activate their animals’ special effects and calculate the total weight on board. If the combined weight meets or is less than the boat’s capacity, your animals sail to safety and earn you points. If not, it’s to the discard pile for them!

Knowing when to play each animal card is crucial, and watch out for your opponents’ cunning moves—unexpected surprises can change the game in an instant! With each animal possessing unique abilities, you can create chaos or bring balance to the game. Are you ready to save as many animals as possible?
