Nantucket

Nantucket: A Historic Whaling and Town Building Game for Two

Nantucket is a micro-game style adaptation of New Bedford. Nantucket takes you to “The Little Grey Lady of the Sea” during the early American whaling industry. You need just a few cards and coins to play in whatever port you find yourself. Mix and match two cards to form the modular board. Then use your single action each round to carefully build the town and send out ships. After performing your actions, flip the coins on your ship to catch a whale. Play until the town is fully constructed, supplies run out, or the last whales are taken. Between buildings and earned coins, may the best captain win!

Nantucket will feel familiar for anyone who has played New Bedford, because it developed alongside New Bedford over a year and a half. But is a completely new experience, drawing inspiration from Adam McIver’s Coin Age, to be a deep gaming experience you can take anywhere
