Bridges and Boats is a strategic war game in which the attacker is trying to get soldiers across a major river while the enemy tries to stop them.

How to Win: The game ends immediately when the last domino is taken from the resource pool. At game end the attacker wins if more soldier units have crossed the river than the defender has collected units of money. Otherwise the defender wins. If the soldier/money unit count is tied at endgame then the conflict is tied; so be it.
