About the game

What is Blood, Bilge and Iron Balls: Naval Wargame Rules for the Age of Sail

Blood, Bilge and Iron Balls is a set of wargame rules for naval battles in the Age of Sail.

With them you can recreate the triumphs of Nelson or Hawke or tackle pirates on the Spanish Main.

The rules themselves are very simple and easy to learn.

Each player can easily command a single ship or several, the rules working equally well for a single frigate chasing down a privateer, or a large-scale fleet action with multiple players on each side.
