Don't Miss The Boat is a board game for two to four players, with no dice or cards or element of elimination. The rules are simple enough to be mastered by a five-year-old, yet there is no element of chance, and experienced players can use sophisticated tactics and strategies to win. The game was first published by Parker Brothers in 1965, later by Waddingtons. The title is currently owned by Hasbro and is no longer manufactured.
