Along with luck, you will need to use sound strategies to win this game. And to win, you have to be the first player to get all of your travellers (the tokens are called travellers in Blackpool) out of the mystic whirlpool and land them safely back to your camp. You may use the curse cards to stop others, charm cards to move ahead, and take advantage of anyone who is ahead of you by using the special piggybacking technique. You may jump on someone who is ahead of you to slow them down, or choose to move ahead with them. Smart use of piggybacking can become the difference between winning and losing the game.
