Broadsides and Boarding Parties was the first title in Milton Bradley's Gamemaster series of games. It is a light tactical war game during the age of sail where two ships face off against one another on the sea. There are basically two layers to the game, the broadsides portion in which players plot their movement with a deck of cards, attempting to maneuver their ships in such a way that they can fire a volley of cannon balls at the opponent while minimizing the risk of return fire.

The second layer of the game begins when the movement of ships results in them bumping into one another. In these instances the Boarding Parties portion comes into play. Here players line up their ships next to one another and attempt to storm the other ship and kill the opposing captain. Players can only move a limited amount of their units each turn and so some planning is required to hem in the opposing captain.

The components for the game are quite elaborate. Each player is given a fully detailed plastic ship about a foot long with removable masts. Also, each player is given a whole crew of little plastic pirate figures, cannon, and captain. Lastly the board is full color and styled in the period.

Some of my games are vintage or used and as such will feature taped, penciled, shelf worn or otherwise damaged boxes, I will do the best to indicate the overall condition of the game.
Some of the game parts may be replacements but I will attempt to have all games complete and fully playable upon receipt. I will indicate if this is not the case whenever possible.

If there is a problem with your order please email me and I will do the best to fix the problem, but as I said the games are likely vintage or OOP and in some cases sending additional game bits to complete may be impossible.

I accept all forms of payment and will ship as soon as I receive verification payment. International bidders are welcome, but ask ahead of time, with your address, so I can let you know shipping charges.

I don't weigh and measure everything before estimating shipping, my shipping is just that, an estimate, but I will hold to that amount, if it's more I'll pay the excess, so please make sure the total charge is acceptable to you.

Shipping is stated upfront so there are no surprises for you. We want to make sure everyone is happy with their transactions. I ship 1 to 2 times per week.

If you are interested in a BUY IT NOW option, send me a message before the item gets any bids.

If you are interested in my item bid, don't snipe. I'm not interested in snipers, serious bidders only. I have been known to change the minimum auction price without warning and as the mood strikes me. Please don't write to me to complain about this, you are, however, free to kick yourself for not securing the earlier deal when you had the chance and for not heeding this advice: BID EARLY, BID HIGH, BID OFTEN. 

Thanks for your interest and good luck.

If you've read so far you are very likely to get POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM ME. Thank you very much!!!

If however, you didn't read before purchasing, and are only reading now in the hope that the item received is not what I described then you've got no one to blame but yourself. Don't get angry at me. I really am trying to find the correct buyer for the items I am selling. Send me a message, and maybe we can work something out to both our satisfactions.
