{"product_id":"mississippi-queen-55","title":"Mississippi Queen - $55","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this light, fun family game, players race their paddleboats down the Mississippi, picking up passengers along the way.\u003cbr\u003eBut onboard coal supplies are limited, so each ship's acceleration and maneuvers must be carefully planned.\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps most interestingly, the twists and turns of the river are unknown at the start of the game, and are only revealed as ships progress downstream.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlayers create the river (board) as they move by laying tiles. Movement is determined by the number on the red steamboat wheel while speed and direction can be changed by using one of the limited points on the black steamboat wheel.\u003cbr\u003eThe player who places the last river tile, rolls the die again to determine the\u003cbr\u003elocation of the landing platform. As shown in the diagram on page 7, there are three hexes which are points of entry to this platform. The first player to reach one of these entry points wins.\n\u003c\/p\u003eA rules variant changes the win conditions to include passenger pickups. To win, a captain must be the first to dock at the finish AND make two passenger stops along the way.","brand":"The Printed Meeple","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42892903874645,"sku":"745809868917","price":50.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/9113\/0709\/files\/pic174176.jpg?v=1788489625","url":"https:\/\/theprintedmeeple.com\/products\/mississippi-queen-55","provider":"The Printed Meeple","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
