For what is essentially an $18.00 budget game, Nantucket packs a lot of gameplay into this semi-historical whaling title. While I certainly don't condone modern whaling, as it's surely a barbaric and completely unnecessary industry, the early 1820's is a different story altogether. Sometimes it's not the most intuitive design, as the tutorial is rather sparse and some aspects are left unexplained, the grand story as you play is quite engrossing. Some may not care for much of the randomness but that certainly adds to replayablity.
