The Captain's Mistress Game

The Captain's Mistress, brought to you by Wood Expressions, is a 2 player game for ages 8 and up.

There is a persistent legend that on his three major voyages, Captain Cook used this game nightly to relax with his fellow shipmates: naturalist Sir Joseph Banks, and botanistf Daniel Solander. Cook spent so much time playing this game, it became knwon as The Captain's Mistress Game.

The object is simple, the strategies are endless. Players try to line up four of their hardwood "rounds" in a row; horizontally, vertically, or even diagonally, before their opponent. The cabinet is beautifully made, with brass fittings, burlwood inlay on top, mitered joints and a lustrous, stained finish. At game's end, pull the bottom retaining "gangplank" and the hardwood "rounds" drop back into the cabinet.
