TS27 Slim Rowing Game - The Bumps!
The Bumps Rowing board game in a slim-line portable hinged silver tin case. The Bumps is a rowing contest with a difference – a destruction derby on the river.  A bunch of 17 crews (or sometimes 18 but now it starts to get complicated) line up behind each other on the river about 150 feet apart and set off at the shot from a cannon – each crew tries to catch the crew in front and Bump their boat while all the time trying to avoid being Bumped by the crew behind.  Bumping can be anything from a gentle touch to major destruction and is usually a bit of a surprise to the chasing crew as they are all of course facing backwards so don't have a clue what is going on unless the Cox tells them.  If the Bumping bit isn't destructive enough for you, the overall winner – Head of the River - according to tradition, even gets to burn a boat at the end of the festivities. This is a Quikky dice rolling game with simple rules for 1, 2, 3 or 6 players of any age from 9 to 99 or more very loosely based on the rules of the Bumps - we couldn't fit 18 crews on the board and we certainly don't encourage any burning of boats at the end of the races.  Apart from that it has all the elements of luck, chaos and confusion you might expect in the real thing – over-bumps, double over-bumps and rowing over.
