Description

Oceania is a family game about shipping and (actually) maintenance of ships. Palet spil co-operated with marine paint manufacturer Hempel's Marine Paint in making this game and the Hempel's features repeatedly on the game board - the name of the ship that appears on the box front is Hempaturi after the "Hempatur" brand of paint, for example.

The mechanism is movement through a single track using the two kinds of cards in the game - "steering wheel" or "anchor", with some event spaces added. Winner is the first to reach the destination.

An artist signature "Bergholm" can be seen at the box lid picture, but not on the game board, while the Finnish edition is signed "Engholm".

The publishing year is estimated at circa 1980 given Palet ceased operations in the 1980's.
