A bay full of huge whales and orcas, and quite popular among whale-watching tourists, is becoming overrun with tour companies. The whales on the other hand, seem to be enjoying themselves, sometimes showing up, sometimes not…… As one of these tour companies, you must decide where to send out your boat! If you dilly-dally too long, one of the rival companies will pass by, but sometimes when your own investigation isn't enough, you might need to follow a rival company!
"Whale to Look" is a game of hidden information with a whale-watching theme. Take on the role of a tour company, deduce where the whale or orca will appear and send out your boats accordingly to keep your tourists happy! The surrounding fish cards provide the necessary clues, but there is no time to investigate them all. You will need to have the guts to send out your boats by also utilizing clues from your rival companies' boat positioning! However, since the whale goes for areas with lots of fish while the Orca goes for areas with few fish, there will be times when you think you've got it all figured out, but it'll turn out that you were wrong all along...? After all, this is a board game in which luck, strategy and intuition beautifully flow into each other.
For the design of this game, Jun Sasaki (author of "Deep Sea Adventure", "In A Grove", "Startups" etc.) teamed up with Bruno Faidutti (author of "Citadels", "Mascarade", "Incan Gold" etc.). This game is the result of the collaboration between these two game designers.
What makes the game extra exciting, are the over 100 gorgeous game pieces in the 65 x 109 x 34mm box. Among them are wooden boats elaborately designed so that they can fit the tourist pieces which all feature unique designs as well. Row your boats into the sea of diamond-shaped cards! Will you manage to show your tourists whales and orcas?
