Nautic Miles

A nautical card game in which players conceal convoys and try to move them across 4,000 nautical miles. Alerts expose convoys to attacks by warships, while Airplane and Mine cards create additional hazards; defensive cards, End of Alert cards, Minesweepers, and Storms offer protection. Warship strength follows a hierarchy, with two submarines defeating a carrier. Radar cards can reveal a convoy’s value, including a worthless fishing trawler decoy or a convoy worth double points to its sinker or owner. Several hands are played until a set score is reached.
