With Ship of the Line, FJG has produced the ultimate expression of its square dice maneuver system. Very similar to the previous products (Blazing Jets and Barmy Biplanes), Ship of the Line is more suited to the game system than aircraft. I wouldn't have thought that Napoleonic era naval combat could be expressed so easily, but this game does it quite well.

Bravo, FJG. Extremely well done!

First thing to keep clear is this is a board game, not an RPG. With that in mind, this is a gorgeous, elegant game. The rules, while not perfect, are efficient, well written, and clear. It's brimming with historical content, naval terminology, and just plain fun.

I cannot recommend this game enough. The author has filled it with historical naval artwork depicting many major engagements of the Napoleonic era.

If this were a boxed game, it would probably run for $25 minimum.

This is the fourth download-and-print PDF game I've bought from Fat Jonny Games, and I've been pleased with all of them. They are simple beer 'n' pretzels games, and they include everything you need except dice (and you'll need a bunch of dice for this particular game).

With FTG’s simultaneous movement mechanic (represented by a 20-sided die displaying the current maneuver selected from a list of twenty) you get the fog-of-war aspect that makes this a real face-to-face game.
