Nautical Trivia has captured the mystique of blue water racing by simulating the sailing elements of changing winds, changing tides, tacking, racing strategy (block your opponent’s wind!!!) and nautical knowledge to enjoy anytime, anywhere, at your command. Challenging… A roll of the cube determines whether the driving force that propels your boat will be by knowledge or by chance. Nautical Trivia’s challenging questions (many in true/false and multiple choice format) will test your knowledge of nautical history, the America’s Cup, historic lighthouses, navigation, boating safety, famous shipwrecks, infamous pirates and world geography.
