The year's most boring worker placement award goes to this game. I bought this game looking at a decent score (7.3) on BGG and I don't get what others see on it.
New Bedford isn't bad, it's just not good. I can't even get worked up about the whale slaughter because the whole thing is so dull.
Decent enough game. I would have never picked this game to play based on theme. But a friend picked it, and thus I played. The game itself is better than my rating suggests, however, the theme brings it down.
I might prefer this to those other popular worker placement games like Waterdeep/Stone Age/Viticulture. It's not as amazing as some other worker placement games, but I like it for the 'Worker Placement 101' type games.
I really enjoy this one. I like it much better with the rising tide expansion. I love this era of history. I know many people dislike the game because they dislike the theme, but this is an integral part of the history of the Western World. Highly recommend.
(10/17) 6. A cool worker placement, but didn't really excite me too much. I DID like the whale hunting mechanic.
