It was born from the notion of how to entice children to go the library and read books. Sobeys Inc. At the heart of the game are trivia questions. They were written from interesting facts gleaned from the pages of books with nautical themes such as the wreck of the Titanic, Nova Scotia s mysterious Oak Island, the famous Nova Scotia fishing schooner Bluenose, and of course pirates. As a method to raise funds for the Pictiou-Antigonish Regional Library, sponsors were invited to contribute to the production costs and in return were given advertising space on the edges of the board game.
All profits go to the library region for the purchase of children s books and materials.
The game is available to anyone for a ten-dollar donation to the library. The game is for children, but can be enjoyed by adults as well due to its appealing trivia question format . Players move their markers across the Atlantic Ocean, tracing the route of the Tall Ships as they made their way to North America and back to Europe. If your library wishes to raise funds for children s books we welcome the sale of the Tale of the Tall Ships board game. Contact us for details regarding our user-friendly royalty agreement.
