    Wot I Think: Nantucket

    My rotten sloop is wheezing into port, the decks slick with blubber and blood, and still it isn't enough. The sea teems with life and before this day is done, I swear I will silence all of it. From our home port to the distant shores of Europe and Africa, the water will run red.

    This is Nantucket, a strategic-RPG about the golden age of whaling. I'm hunting for Moby Dick but it's a long voyage from lowly captain to vengeance and fate personified. Mostly, my time is spent stabbing tiny baby whales until they turn into piles of money and food.

    To help me in my quest to vanquish the all-destroying but unconquering whale, I'm going to bring my friends from the band Mastodon into the room. Let's see how their version of events, as told in the song Blood & Thunder from Moby Dick concept album Leviathan, matches with my experiences.

    Sid Meier's Pirates! Is the closest thing to Nantucket that I've played. Both games involve moving from port to port trying to gather riches. Both have you dividing your takings among your crew. Both have an open-ended nature and can sometimes lack focus.
