All Aboard!
In All Aboard!, players work to save animal passengers by loading boats without exceeding their capacity. Each player has a hand of 12 animal cards. Over four rounds, players add animals to boats in three passes: first face up, then face down, then face up again. Reveal hidden animals and resolve their effects. Matching pairs may fall in love for points, while three of a kind fight and sink their boat. If a boat exceeds its weight capacity, it sinks and its animals are lost; passengers on a boat that sails safely are saved and score at the end. Each animal has a special power, so timing and reading the table matter.
