Game tournament Thursday in Everett
A Smugglers board game tournament is planned for Thursday in Everett.
Phil Tasto of Clearview, 30, created the game in 2007. The premise of Smugglers was loosely inspired by the drug trafficking that occurs on I-5 between the United States and Canada.
In his game, players navigate a network of highways and oceans to make deliveries around the country and overseas. After a player makes a certain number of deliveries, the game ends and whoever has the most points wins.
But there’s a catch — players can risk their points for smuggling illegal goods in their trucks and boats. Successful smugglers get double the points.
Play the game from 5 to 9 p.m. at Espresso Americano, Everett Public Library, 2702 Hoyt Ave., Everett. Admission is free and the winner receives $50.
