New Bedford Board Game

"You must go to New Bedford..." - Moby Dick, Chapter 6. Set in the mid-1800s, the historical age of whaling, New Bedford gives 1-4 players the chance to build the Massachusetts town of the same name into a thriving community. Gather resources to add buildings with new actions, and launch ships to go whaling. Go out longest for the best choice, but wait too long and the whales become harder to catch. And don't forget to pay your crew when ships return! Carefully balance risk management and timing to become a leader of industry in this medium-weight worker placement and resource management game.Contents:Town board20 building tiles4 player boardsDrawstring fabric bagWhaling board1 wooden ship's wheel token1 wooden whale token8 wooden ship tokens8 wooden worker tokens20 wooden brick resource tokens25 wooden lumber resource tokens30 wooden food resource tokens4 sperm whale tokens20 bowhead whale tokens36 right whale tokens58 money tokens ($1 and $5)
