Rules of the Doldrums Game: The aim is simple: Under sail power only, get from the Northeast Trades to the Southeast Trades in the shortest time possible via the vast zone of squalls and calms known as the Doldrums, without getting nailed by too many cumulomonsters. Key features include violent squalls, torrential rain, lightning, wind from all points of the compass rose, long periods becalmed with sails latting disagreeably from side to side in the ever-present swell. WARNINGS: 1) Players are recommended to be armed with patience and masochistic tendencies.
