Bermuda Triangle

Milton Bradley - 1975
2-4 Players - Ages 8 to Adult

Back before there were The X-Files there was the Bermuda Triangle. Charles Berlitz wrote a book entitled The Bermuda Triangle in 1974 about a mysterious area off the coast of Florida where (supposedly) a large number of ships and aircraft disappeared "mysteriously". The idea caught the public imagination at the time and the Bermuda Triangle showed up in many movies and games. (For example; Flight 19, one of the most famous "disappearances", was one of the plot elements in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.) This game is another example of the interest generated by the book.

In Bermuda Triangle the players are operators of merchant fleets. They must navigate their fleets between the four ports on the map picking up cargoes (lumber, sugar, oil and bananas). Each cargo they collect and get back to their home port gives them more cash, but they must be careful of the "mystery cloud" which moves around the board and into which their ships may vanish forever.

This is an amazingly fun game. The players move their ships along the track on the map from one port to another according to a die roll while the cloud moves and spins randomly according to the spinner. There are magnets located under the cloud and on the ship counters and if the cloud and a ship get too close together the ship is sucked into the cloud. There is really very little strategy involved in the game (beyond trying to guess where the cloud will move next and moving your ships accordingly) but is is still quite fun to play. The game rapidly turns into a "last ship remaining" contest and the ad-libs, jokes and comments made by the players as their ships are sucked out of sight are worth pulling it out for. By no means serious, but certainly fun.

@Daisy: Lighten up. Bankruptcy is serious, too, but not many people complain to Monopoly about it.

i think this game looks very interesting and i cant wait to play this game.
I am a nerd and I do not have a social life so I might very much like this game.
I have no one to play this game with except for maybe my dogs!
My dogs are my only friends. My mom and dad hate me so much that they wont even let me come out of my room at nite!
My room is in the attic with all the spiders.
I am fat and ugly so I never get asked on dates so this game will be very good for me!
I hope my parents will buy this game for me! and hopefully if i win the game my parents will hug me!

the cloud in this game is so cool, spin the spinner and it tells you how far to turn the cloud in place, and then how to move the cloud across the board- how far and in which direction. Hail the cloud. All glory to the cloud.
