Recently viewed, grading system.

Every item in our inventory has been inspected, very strictly graded, and bagged for its protection.

Shrink Wrapped. Still in the original factory shrink wrap, with condition visible through shrink noted. For example, "SW (NM)" means shrink wrapped in near-mint condition.

Perfect. Brand new.

Near Mint. Like new with only the slightest wear, many times indistinguishable from a Mint item. Close to perfect, very collectible. Board & war games in this condition will show very little to no wear and are considered to be punched unless the condition note says unpunched.

Excellent. Lightly used, but almost like new. May show very small spine creases or slight corner wear. Absolutely no tears and no marks, a collectible condition.

Very Good. Used. May have medium-sized creases, corner dings, minor tears or scuff marks, small stains, etc. Complete and very useable.

Very well used, but complete and useable. May have flaws such as tears, pen marks or highlighting, large creases, stains, marks, etc.

  • Boxed items are listed as "code/code" where the first code represents the box, and the second code describes the contents. When only one condition is listed, then the box and contents are in the same condition.
  • A "plus" sign indicates that an item is close to the next highest condition. Example, EX+ is an item between Excellent and Near Mint condition. A "minus" sign indicates the opposite.
  • Major defects and/or missing components are noted separately.
  • Boardgame counters are punched, unless noted. Due to the nature of loose counters, if a game is unplayable it may be returned for a refund of the purchase price.
  • In most cases, boxed games and box sets do not come with dice.
  • The cardboard backing of miniature packs is not graded. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "card worn."
  • Flat trays for SPI games are not graded, and have the usual problems. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "tray worn."
  • Remainder Mark - A remainder mark is usually a small black line or dot written with a felt tip pen or Sharpie on the top, bottom, side page edges and sometimes on the UPC symbol on the back of the book. Publishers use these marks when books are returned to them.

Board Game Review – Yacht Rock (2020)

yacht rock board game

Hit singles, laidback clothes and lavish parties … it’s the life of a Rock Star in the board game Yacht Rock by Prospero Hall or as they jokingly appear on the box cover Prospero & Hall (ala Hall and Oates).

More Board Game Reviews: • This Game Goes To Eleven (2019) • Don’t Get Got! (2019) • Hoopla

Today, in Board Game Reviews on cottagemixtape.com we are reviewing Yacht Rock , a game set in the mid 70s /early 80s where you play a yacht rock star. For those not familiar with the genre, Yacht Rock, think Toto’s “ Africa “, Hall & Oates “ I Can’t Go For That ” or Christopher Cross’ “ Sailing “. An era of music that was all about soft rock sounds for breezy afternoons on the Yacht or in your convertible driving down on the highway.

In this game you essentially take turns going around (starting “with the most relaxed player” first) as each player picks up a style card which consists of either: clothing (i.e. hats, shoes, shirt, sunglasses and pants) or a musical style (e.g. “smooth saxophone” or “gentle beat”) for potential hit songs. The purpose of the clothing cards is to acquire the best, most complete outfit with only keeping one article type each. That means only one hat, one shirt, etc. If you draw more than one clothing article type you will have to sell it for points (1 each). The clothing cards have different point values (1 or 3) and different colours.

yacht rock board game

The purpose of the musical style cards is to get all three style cards needed to record one of the two hit songs dealt on the board. Or you collaborate with another player if you have a card each. If you record the song by yourself it is worth 8 points. If you collaborate it is worth 3 points for both players.

Ride Like The Wind and listen to Christopher Cross on Cottage Country Mix Vol. 7 :

yacht rock board game

At the end of each round, once you have dealt all the style cards, you must choose which party (‘soiree’) you will attend (e.g. “Palm Springs House Party” or “Catalina Beach Party”). The purpose is to score bonus points for your clothes and hit singles. On the tops of the soiree card it will give you a hint for what to expect (e.g. a particular colour of card or the hit single icon) in order to get the most bonus points. Once players have decided with their guitar pick which party they will attend, you flip over the card to reveal the bonus point scheme. You score the points, collect all the style cards and redistribute for the next round for a total of three rounds. The player with the most points at the end wins!

Listen to the Doobie Brothers’ “ What A Fool Believes ” on Cottage Country Vol. 14

It should almost be a rule that if you record the hit single, you should have to make up the song on spot, duets too. In fact, they should have provided short fake soft rock instrumentals to do this and made them downloadable on their website or Youtube page (I feel like I am giving you jewels, here people). Now that we are making up rules, you should also have to swap out the songs at the end of each round depending on how many players. We found that if you only are playing with 2-3 players, it may take a while to get the right combination of song style cards to record a single (especially by yourself). This can bottleneck the gameplay until you draw enough or the right song style cards and by then it is already into the second or last round. Finally, it would be awesome if you actually had the clothes (or something comparable) and you had to wear them. Obviously that would have made the game expensive, so get your friends to bring their own.

Does Yacht Rock float the boat?

I would say: I Can Go For That . The gameplay is simplistic and turn based, so it is not frantic but it’s still fun and engaging. I thought stylistically, its design was well-thought out with an apparent late 70s to early 80s flair but they also took their time to do at least a little research. Yacht Rock enthusiast will understand the humour, particularly the faux hit single song titles and their implicit styles. That being said, it is obviously a bit of a gimmick and may only appeal to a certain demograph who “get it” but what’s not to get? Its Pop music, dumb clothes and parties. At least, for everyone else the point system and the will to win may grab them. We played it once, enjoyed it and played it again, so there is some replay value. How much replay value in the long term remains to be seen but it is a fun, social game.

Yacht Rock – More Like Musak

Yacht Rock game

Yacht Rock or Musak?

It’s 2020. We all desperately need some time to sit back and relax. The easy going 1970’s laid back styling of yacht rock seems perfect. Resting in beats powered by Beach Boy roots, kick off your shoes and turn up the Kenny Loggins and Steely Dan . Or, you could reach for Yacht Rock , a 25-minute game for 2-6 players. Play as a 1970’s musician looking to impress southern California power brokers with your impeccable sense of style and smooth beats.

Yacht Rock was designed by Prospero Hall and published by Funko Games .

Set the game board and score track in the middle of the table and give each player a guitar pick representing their chosen color. Put the cubes matching those colors in the starting spot on the score track.

Yacht Rock scoreboard and guitar pick player markers

Shuffle the style cards and set out a certain number depending on player count. There’s a grid in the book, but the number is player count times three, plus two. Deal one style card from the deck you counted out face up to each of the five style slots on the game board.

Put out “single” cards and “soiree” cards in the designated spots on the game board. Make sure the names on the two cards don’t match.

Put the singles tokens next to the board. The most relaxed player goes first.

Yacht Rock game layout

Drafting Phase

In Yacht Rock you need to draft cards to make up your outfit, or to record singles. Take all of the style cards from one slot of the game board, then deal a style card to that spot, and one to the spots on either side.

Style cards are either clothing cards or styles of music. The backs of the soiree cards show two colors (or styles) of clothes (or a color and singles) that will be considered in vogue at that party at the end of the round. Your goal is to put together an outfit that matches those styles as much as possible, and/or to have recorded singles when you attend the party.

Create a set of clothing with the clothing cards you’ve drafted. You can only have one of each clothing type, so “sell” the rest to the discard pile for one point each.

All clothing is worth one point except for gold clothes, which are always in style, and are thus worth three. Soiree cards might also have a clothing accessory that is in vogue (like hats or sunglasses) but you won’t know what those are until the round is over.

You may also elect to record a single on your turn, if you have the available musical style cards. If you have the cards to match all three musical styles you can record a solo single: score eight points and get a single token. If not, you can record a duet with any other player. This duet has plenty of star power, so between you, you only need to match two of the symbols. Each player gets three points and a single token.

Single "Clear Skies Ahead" with red pick and green pick, using styles of Vocal Duet and Soothing Saxophone

Party Phase

Once everyone has gone three times, the Drafting Phase ends and the Party Phase begins. Pick a party by placing your pick (get it?) on the party card. Once each player has picked a party, flip the parties over and score them.

There are various types of bonus: Bonus for clothing color, bonus for recording singles, bonus for particular articles of clothing, or bonus for clothing color sets. Hats and sunglasses have two colors in their borders and can count for multiple color bonuses.

Malibu Boat Christening. Bonuses for blue, purple, and sunglasses.

Add up your points and move your scoring cube up on the tracker. Discard all of your clothing style cards but keep your musical style cards. Discard all remaining styles on the five spots of the game board.

Rinse and Repeat

You’ve played one round. Now refresh the style deck (remember the player specific count from the beginning) and replace the Soiree cards. Play two more rounds. Whoever has the highest score wins!

Impressions

It’s hard to understand the right target demographic for Yacht Rock . The game tries to do a lot of different things, but it doesn’t do any of them well enough to stand out.

The rulebook has a lot of unnecessary details that slowed us down when we played. Remember all that stuff about a style deck? Why is this important? Just have each player go three times. Counting out cards by player count is a nuisance. There aren’t enough cards to have separate decks for each round, so you’re going to mix them and re-count them anyway. It’s completely unnecessary.

yacht rock board game

Similarly, the rulebook contains a lot of details that don’t really matter, like where the extra decks and tokens go. To be blunt, who cares? When you need them in the game, you’ll find them.

The Decisions

There are really only three decision points in the game: choosing your style pile, choosing your clothes, and choosing how to perform your songs. The choice of a party isn’t much of a choice – With the hints you have from the fronts of the cards, it’s usually obvious from your clothing which party will be better for you.

This stands out because the game plays unbearably slowly. The only thing you can do when it’s not your turn is hope someone wants to perform a duet with you, but if you don’t have style cards that match the singles that are out, it doesn’t matter anyway.

Though Yacht Rock is the right weight for kids to play, the theme couldn’t possibly be more boring for them. We had to drag them to the table or bribe them to play.

The art is… Fine. It gets the point across, usually, but it’s not too many steps past a well-designed clip art library. It certainly doesn’t stand out and evoke a strong connection to the theme.

Style cards from Yacht Rock: hat, 2 tops, bottom, 2 shoes, and 6 musical styles

Final Thoughts

All of this adds up to tell us this is an entry-level, casual game. But entry level casual games need a strong theme or something of driving interest within the gameplay loop. Yacht Rock has neither.

The thing that’s really disappointing here is that Funko and Prospero Hall can really kill it when they want to. Pam Am , also released by Prospero Hall and Funko this year, is an absolutely stellar masterpiece of design that we ranked our best game of 2020. It leans into its theme and excels at it.

Board games are in a modern renaissance. At a time when it’s not good enough to be “fun sometimes” or to merely be “fine”, that’s exactly what Yacht Rock is. It’s board game musak: Filling the empty space, but ultimately forgettable.

Love this game. Great combination of mechanics and the theme is adorable.

Board Game Bliss is the only store in my area that sells button shy games and I’m really happy they do. Keep it up!

I dont know that was a RPG The book is a mix with D&D and Zombicide Good stories but I cannot use the tiles my Zombicide's game

It is very simple rule. Compared to pioneers(old version of future energy),More interacted with players. New module is great for over medium euro gamers. Move construction crew and take an action tile. Resolve it, and construct own corresponding plant from own plant on the contract board. If all plant spaces empty, complete this contract and score corresponding points. Remove Outdated plant and construct new green plant. Really good game for me.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

yacht rock board game

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

yacht rock board game

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

yacht rock board game

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

yacht rock board game

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

yacht rock board game

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

yacht rock board game

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

yacht rock board game

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
