The game which I have chosen to review is Save the Whales. It is made by the Animal Town Game Company which is based in California. Save the Whales Debuted in the late 70's, but it is a timeless game which hasn't gone out of style just yet. Save the Whales is made for 2-4 players, ages 8 and up. It truly is a game where everyone can receive something from playing it.
Children can have fun with the actual game while adults can also get more from the message.
This game's goal is a very cooperative one. It is the only board game that I have ever played where all of the players are working towards a common goal. The acquisition of SP's takes place through playing the game, It is similar to Monopoly by the fact that when a player passes where she or he started, SP's are received. Also by landing on good spots, the player collects varying amounts of points depending on the circumstances. Every whale costs a different amount due to how many are left or how much they are worth.
