Description
Set in the mid-1800s, the golden age of whaling, New Bedford gives you the chance to build the Massachusetts town of the same name into a thriving whaling 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 time management and timing to earn the most pointsin this medium-weight worker placement and resource management game.
In more detail, over twelve rounds players take turns placing two workers per round, one at a time. The town board and whaling board contain basic game actions: taking goods (food, wood, brick), selling goods, building buildings, docking ships, and launching ships. These actions can be used multiple times per round, with the first player to do so in a round receiving a bonus or more goods or reducing the number of goods paid.
Most buildings add extra action spaces with new actions, combined actions, and more powerful versions of basicactions. You own whatever you build, with others needing to pay to use them and you earning points from them at game's end.
You need to pay to send ships whaling, choosing how far out to send them. At the end of the round, ships move closer to shore and whale tokens are drawn randomly. Ships that are farthest out have first chance topick the valuable sperm whales, but as they move in, others have the opportunity to launch farther out and get a better pick, possibly leaving you with only empty seas. Over the course of the game, whales become more rare and empty seas more common. Once a ship reaches shore, a percentage of the profits (the "lay") must be paid in order to keep the whales selected.
After twelve rounds, all ships must return, and players total their points from buildings, whales, and extra money. High score wins.

| On joue ou on s'instruit, là ?...pourquoi pas les deux. | |
| New Bedford est un jeu de société créé par Nathaniel Levan et édité par Greater Than Games. Ce jeu se déroule dans la ville portuaire de New Bedford, Massachusetts, pendant l'âge d'or de la pêche à la baleine. Les joueurs prennent le rôle de capitaines de navires baleiniers qui cherchent à exploiter les riches ressources de la mer. Les joueurs doivent construire et améliorer leurs navires, recruter des membres d'équipage qualifiés et les envoyer à la pêche pour récolter les précieuses baleines. Le jeu est divisé en quatre tours, chacun représentant une saison de pêche. Les joueurs doivent planifier leurs actions de manière stratégique pour maximiser leurs profits et éviter les risques tels que les tempêtes et les attaques de baleines. En plus de la pêche, les joueurs peuvent investir dans des industries comme les huileries, les chantiers navals et les usines de bougies, ce qui leur permet de gagner des points de victoire supplémentaires. New Bedford est un jeu de stratégie avec des mécanismes de placement de travailleurs et de gestion de ressources. Le jeu offre une expérience immersive de l'industrie de la pêche à la baleine du XIXe siècle et permet aux joueurs de se plonger dans l'histoire de la ville portuaire de New Bedford. J'adore ce type de jeu qui sort des sentiers battus et cherche à nous introduire un nouveau thème qui nous apprendre des choses. |
