Lobster Roll 2021

The Penobscot Bay off the coast of Maine produces a yearly bounty of saltwater fish, shellfish, and lobsters. This solitaire roll-and-write game lets players become commercial fishers, seeking the largest and best catches of these valuable seafoods. It’s a risky endeavor, requiring proper timing, thoughtful management of your resources, and a bit of old-fashioned good luck.

Choose your location, roll your dice, and see what you've caught. If you succeed, sell your catch strategically to earn top dollar. If you don't succeed, use your failures wisely, to improve your operation for next season.

This is a solitaire, print-and-play, roll-and-write design. The game comes with rulebook, map sheet, and record sheet. The only other bits required are three dice: one each in green, red, and blue.

The game takes about 45 minutes (15 minutes for each of three rounds), and is appropriate for ages 10 and up.
