Broadsides and Boarding Parties

Broadsides and Boarding Parties is a

The original version of this game, published by The Citadel in 1982, used a paper map and cardboard pieces and did not have the plastic ships, cannons, and other playing pieces. When Hasbro bought the publishing rights, they added these components to bring the physical components in line with the other games in the series. However, many players found that the large ship models were difficult to disassemble, making the storage of this game awkward.^{[citation needed]}

A more serious problem was that the gameplay was not considered up to the level of the other games in the series.^{[citation needed]} There was relatively little strategy and more luck involved than the other games. As part of a series, Broadsides and Boarding Parties was unfavorably compared to the other games and was less popular.

Broadsides and Boarding Parties was discontinued several years after its introduction.
