Historically Nantucket is “The Little Grey Lady of the Sea,” and players take turns building the town up during the early days of the whaling industry with a modular game board and then send out ships on whaling missions.  Players flip a coin to see if their whaling mission is a success. Play continues until the town is completely constructed, supplies run out, or all the whales have been caught.

The game was funded on Kickstarter as a companion game to larger, multi-player New Bedford (see “Historic Whaling Game 'New Bedford'”).
