Rum Run is a simple game at its heart:
1) Build roads (ala Dominoes) from the Town Center to Distilleries
2) Collect barrels
3) Transport said barrels (ala Mancala) back to the Town Center
It would all be so easy... if you were the only one in the game. Players break each others' roads, make alliances, block routes, and steal barrels all in the name of being the most unsobering savior the town has ever seen!
This edition features significant updates from the original edition, including:
* Brand new artwork
* 20-page full-color comprehensive rule booklet
* Quick-Start Guide and Turn-Summary Flowchart
* Quality 18"x18" foldable game board
* Distilleries and Obstacles on movable cards
* Fog tokens hiding unknown elements
* Event Cards for added chance
* Objective Cards provide multiple paths to victory
* 7 New Forest Folk road tokens per player perform similarly to blank tiles in Scrabble, allowing players to bridge broken roads, make u-turns, and save their stronger tokens

Notes
- This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.

I really, really like this game and it pains me that I cannot award Rum Run the Father Geek Seal of Approval. Alas, the theme of illegal alcohol running caused enough Parent Geeks to squirm when it ca...
What a strategic game. Nice blend of mechanics from 2 classic games. Super high replayability with the variable options to play the game. Well-themed game with the Prohibition Era. The Deluxe Edition ...
Great family game! Rum Run has an incredible amount of "customization" you can do with the gameplay. It can be as simple or as complex as you want due to an almost infinite number of different setups...
This game has been under intensive development for over a year. It caters to a myriad of styles, and once players get comfortable with the basic rules, there is no end to the level of variants allowed...
