Set in the mid-1800s, the historical age of whaling, New Bedford gives 1 to 4 players the chance to build the Massachusetts town of the same name into a thriving community.
Not only is New Bedford a great strategic game, it also teaches the history of the town through player actions and consequences.
Practice your time and resource management, send ships out to sail, and build your town!
The game is also filled with references to historical buildings and Herman Melville's classic tale, Moby Dick.
