Description

2-4 players brave the storm as they buy and sell exotic resorts in hurricane prone areas. They must buy insurance and take advantage of opportunities to prepare their resorts, or face the imminent threat of the hurricane! There are many different hurricane tracks based on real historical data, which are written on hurricane program cards that are moved through a sleeve. The players never know where the hurricane will move next. There is also an advanced play option, where players cruise their yachts through the inner game board from one resort to the next, while trying to avoid the inevitable hurricanes. But players must also beware of another threat... The Bermuda Triangle! The player with the most money at the end of the game is the winner, and therefore the best prepared player. The game was designed and produced by Stan Strickland, a retired science teacher and meteorologist who now owns Outer Limit Games.
