Board Description

Northwest Passage

For eons man has searched for an easier path to get around the world. For all of written history the Northwest Passage was a difficult, dangerous, and arduous trip that could only be attempted at certain times of the year. That no longer is the case. Global warming has warmed the planet to the point where the North Pole is devoid of ice year round. Travel in an area that was virtually impossible decades past has become quotidian.

The world is desperate to find a new alternative fuel source(s). Fossil fuels are running desperately low. War has broke out everywhere as countries look to protect their own interests. Scientists accidently leak information that there are plentiful deposits of crude oil beneath the artic ocean. Whoever controls this vital resource controls the world....

Will it be you?
