Message to the Tsar

As a governor to the Tsar, relay messages to the sovereign as quickly as possible!

In this board game, players take on the roles of governors, who have important messages that must reach the Czar as quickly as possible. The players each send several couriers on the long and convoluted trip to the Czar’s palace.

Along the way, the couriers travel from village to village through swamps, forests, and mountains. In each village, the couriers check in to one of the inns and spend the night – but only the early risers will be able to move on to the next village in the morning.

Those who sleep late must remain in the village for another night, hoping the new day will provide better opportunities. The first courier to reach the Czar with the message will win the game.
