Description

Whale Riders Board GameYou are a whale rider. For generations, your people have known and lived with the ice whales and together you've bought and traded at the busy ports along the fabled Ice Coast. You are honored to be the latest in your family to sail with the whales but the ice is thickening and the glaciers are moving. A deep winter is coming, the fiercest for centuries. You decide to ride your mount one final time before the snows come to buy and sell as much as you

You are a whale rider. For generations, your people have known and lived with the ice whales and together you've bought and traded at the busy ports along the fabled Ice Coast. You are honored to be the latest in your family to sail with the whales - but the ice is thickening and the glaciers are moving.

A deep winter is coming, the fiercest for centuries.

You decide to ride your mount one final time before the snows come to buy and sell as much as you can�and maybe even collect some precious pearls along the way.

Whale Riders Board Game will get you in a race to the end of the Ice Coast and back, buying and selling as many resources as possible to make the money needed to acquire the richest prizes. Will you skip opportunities to gain the greatest treasure, or will you make your money slowly along the way?

Each player has two actions per turn, but a lot they want to accomplish. Sail? Buy? Sell? Draw more order cards? All the while, your opponents might be sailing past and beating you to what's on offer down the coast! Once all the precious pearls have been purchased, the game ends and the player with the most pearls wins!

Whale Riders has simple and short rules, but offers a lot of interaction and interesting decisions for players.

Add wind farms to the board to collect energy that can be used to power other actions, such as placing power lines. Move power lines to the main board from your grid board, opening your grid board up and allowing you to collect different contract types and achieve higher income.

Collect contracts from the board in areas where you've added power lines. Move these contracts to the grid board on your tableau, and put the transformer from that space on the grid board onto the main board to show ownership of that contract.

Literally stayed up all night reading this.
Format: Kindle
A classic litrpg, but without some of the lazy tropes often used. Refreshing and familiar at the same time. The worldbuilding is great, the system is intriguing, the supporting cast is fun, and the MC is best summarized as a college student out of her depth staving off constant threats of death through the sheer bullheadedness of refusing to die. Romance isn't a major theme in this story, but threre is a hint that the MC isn't quite as straight as she believes. The writing is consistent and the narrative rarely drags, and why are you still reading this review? Go read the book.

Loved it!
Format: Kindle
I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started reading this book, but it definitely wasn't what I got. And, what I got was so much better! The idea of large groups of people just being taken from Earth on a schedule and yet the general population still having a rather blase attitude about avoiding large crowds is something that, 2 years ago, I would have said was unrealistic. After living through 2020, I now think it's incredibly realistic. As is the reaction had by a lot of the ones taken with Emma - well, before the coughing started, anyway. As for the trials. Holy crap! I can't imagine having to go through those, but I loved Emma's absolute determination to make it through them so she can (somehow) make it back to Earth and see her family again. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the first trials section went, as it can be very difficult for authors to maintain a flow when there's one person. Having Suri there for conversations helped, but Wells did a masterful job there. Then we get to Hub Two and the difficulties there, and man! While I do hope that Emma doesn't have to keep taking so many crazy risks, her sheer determination to make it through works so well. Even though she clearly has plot armor that prevents her from dying, all the close calls - and the ways she gets out of them - are done really well. None of them seem outlandish or unrealistic, at least to me, which I greatly appreciated. I am definitely looking forward to reading book 2.

Started with a slow burn...
Format: Kindle
Well this book started with a slow burn as the author tried to not just teach the MC, Emma, but to everyone reading, a whole new kinda magic system. And it's purdy gimmicky if you ask me. I did like Emma's devil may care attitude when it comes to problem solving. Still it got better after new characters were introduced and Emma managed to team-up. And the story was fun as they work out the intricacies of the system. I am even eager to try the next book to see if it'll enthrall me. Here's a couple of quotes that amused me: “You could’ve died, you jerk!” I shake my head with a small smirk. “No, no, it’s pronounced, ‘Wow, that’s amazing, Emma!’ ” "...the plesiosaurus... plesiosauruses? Plesiosauri? The plessies chase after me..."

Love it! Romance included!
Format: Kindle
Love the characters, love the world, love the series! The romance aspect turned out to be quite entertaining, definitely a slow burn, which is my favorite and the fact that the love interest is a girl has me cheering. But the story is a litrpg first and foremost and isn’t lacking on anything I look for in the genre. A lot of things about the world are completely original as well. I couldn’t put it down and read through both of the first two books in two days. To those hating on Katelin… why? I think she’s hilarious and super cute. Also, if you’re confused as to why Emma seems attracted to her even though she’s straight, that’s actually explained in the next book. Pretty clever honestly.

Not bad, but...
Format: Kindle
I read to 33% (my percentage point to determine if I will stick it out, unless it's terrible of course) and can say with authority that this book is ok, but not for me. There are some points that I think are worth mentioning. It is specifically mentioned that the MC has a generously proportioned bust, and that she is not wearing a sports bra. And yet her generous chest causes no difficulty in athletic action. Don't get me wrong, busty women can be very athletic, but they wear sports bras while being athletic. How do I know this as a man, simple. Generously, and not so generously, proportioned women have told me that this is important. Second: At33% she is still in the middle of her 'test', so it's a slow moving book. Third: The system interface goes from being indifferent to the MC to being willing to bend/break the the rules to aid her. Honestly, I prefer the indifferent one. It takes more than a little spunk to flip that switch. In conclusion, not for me, some significant problems, but I could see some people enjoying this. Tom out
