Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Wackel is German for wobbly, and Captain Jelly must push his boat from port to port collecting cargo at each port. As one moves around, the boat gets filled with more and more cargo. Any cargo that falls off of the boat as you're pushing you must keep. When an island runs out of bits, the game ends and the player with least amount of bits wins. One of the ports requires you to draw a card which has effects, such as use your left hand, one eye shut etc. Funny game, good for gamers as well as kids.
