Captains Mistress!!!!

thanks all will investigate x

I do know how the captains mistress came about but will have to recall.

There are some on this site. All US stores, but most will certainly ship to the UK.

I googled it too - there were several places selling it but all now 'unavailable' .

One such game has just been sold on Ebay for £5, vintage in good condtion. Keep a look out, more may show up on there.

I too have this game. My GCs all learn strategy on it. Captain Cook was so intrigued by this game that the sailors used to say he was playing with his mistress.thats the tale I've been told. I don't call it that to them. Keeping their little minds pure.

I do have one although it was called something else as, apparently, the game was a pastime for the men who worked in the brandy distilleries in France. However, I have oubliéd le nom. Also, I quite enjoy games of this sort so I am not planning to part with it. I wonder where the name Captain's Mistress came about. I hope someone else can help you out.
