Whale Riders
Players take the role of whale riders traversing the Ice Coast to buy, sell and collect valuable goods before winter closes the sea. Turns grant two actions each, letting riders sail along the coast, trade resources at ports, draw order cards, and compete to reach lucrative opportunities before opponents. Pearls and other prizes serve as endgame objectives; once all pearls are claimed the run ends and the player with the most pearls wins. Play lasts about 45 minutes for 2–6 players and emphasizes timing, route choice and opportunistic trading amid shifting availability along the route.
