Players run ship transport operations in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, moving ships around a track to deliver goods at changing prices. A magnetic cloud moves over the board, potentially capturing or destroying ships. Strategic blocking and timing your deliveries are key as you try to keep your fleet safe and profitable.

How It Works
The game uses grid and point-to-point movement on a square board. Players roll dice to move ships between ports to deliver goods (pick-up and deliver).
