The Gentlemen of the South Sandwiche Islands

Jules and Hodge are competing for the attentions of the Lady Ashley. Each wants to speak with her alone. They must do this by crossing bridges to leave the others behind.

There are 6 pieces on the board. You control a master piece and a servant piece. On your turn you can move one, or the other, across a bridge and decide who follows. (The bridges only permit a certain number across.) Some players try to lead her away from the group, and others use their servant to lead others away. The game is very easy to learn. At any time a player only has several choices... but be careful, there are more than 300,000 different possible arrangements for the 6 pieces on the board.
