Whaleship Essex

Whaleship Essex (the whaling vessel that inspired Herman Melville's, Moby Dick) is a quick to play, solo, rpg-lite game that pits you against the elements. You and 2 shipmates have just been shipwrecked by a whale. Like the actual sailors in 1820 that experienced this first hand, you must traverse the ocean with a limited supply of rations. Weather, whales and some good luck will determine your fate. If you find yourself in dire straits you always have the option to "draw lots" to see who will be required to sacrifice for the survival of the crew. Face impossibly difficult choices like the brave sailors were forced to 200 years ago.
