This is a simple roll and move style game based on the British waterways of the 19th Century.
Players must negotiate a series of canals to get to the wharf, collect coal and return to the Paper mill.
Players take it in turn to take cards from a pile and move the number of spaces shown on the card. Some cards give specific bonuses like extra movement.
Also included are the rules for a more complex version of the game called Boatman's Bluff. This uses the same components but adds a bit more strategy to the game.
