Captain Bluff is inspired by a real story: Unhappy in his job, a baggage handler has been caught recently messing up with luggage, sending it to every destination but the right one, and it had been happening for years! Now it's your turn! To win, be the first one to dispatch all your luggage! To do this, open new conveyor belts, swap round departure cities, and get rid of your luggage quickly! But be careful as your colleagues also want to leave early and can call you out if they realize you are getting rid of luggage on the wrong conveyor belt! Which one of you will be the airport's new Captain Bluff? —description from the publisher
