Nantucket

A wonderful experience! The Italian made Nantucket is a naval strategy game inspired by Melville’s novel Moby ♥♥♥♥. The protagonist Ishmael remains as such, but the player can recruit all sorts of sailors across the world, managing his crew, his cargo, his journeys, and of course his encounters, that in this game are played with dice. The gameplay formula works sublimely; it is nice to have a pirate-like game where the scope is not to board ships but rather to trade and hunt wild beasts. Playing Nantucket was very satisfying and rewarding, both the story mode and the free roaming!

Finally beat the game and I gotta say it's great. Nice tense combat and strategy paired with a brilliant sound track.

great game i love sperm

Overcooked in some areas. Underbaked in others. Not a lot in the way of narrative, but a lot in the way of grind.

The combat is adequately tough, and with the right tactics and a little luck I never lost a fight. Of course you will loose sailors from time to time, but that's part of the life of a whaling seaman. The quests are fun and so is the role play, although I will admit that sometimes it feels a little too tough, but that is usually because you are trying to fight whales that are too bad-ass for you still, go find some Narwhales. Of course the best part of the game is the Sea Shanties!!! I want more Sea Shanties. Play them more often.

I like it! There are a lot of mechanics that don't seem fully fleshed out but it was a fun way to spend a weekend. I could see this being a fun board game too.
