{"product_id":"whale-to-look","title":"Whale To Look","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"35\" data-end=\"145\"\u003eThe bay is full of whales and orcas, and every tour company wants to give their guests the best possible view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"147\" data-end=\"573\"\u003eIn \u003cstrong data-start=\"150\" data-end=\"167\"\u003eWhale to Look\u003c\/strong\u003e, players take on the role of whale-watching tour companies trying to figure out where the whale and orca will appear. The sea is made up of hidden information, and each player only gets a limited number of chances to investigate. You can gather clues yourself, but you’ll also need to watch where your rivals are sending their boats. Are they onto something, or are they confidently sailing into nonsense?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"575\" data-end=\"886\"\u003eThe whale appears where there are lots of fish, while the orca appears where there are fewer fish, so players are constantly trying to read the board, read each other, and make the best guess before the round ends. It’s part deduction, part timing, part “I sure hope that other player knows what they’re doing.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1296\"\u003eThis is a compact hidden-information game with a clever whale-watching theme, lots of little wooden pieces, and the classic Oink Games small-box charm. \u003cstrong data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1057\"\u003eWhale to Look\u003c\/strong\u003e plays \u003cstrong data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1079\"\u003e2–5 players\u003c\/strong\u003e, takes about \u003cstrong data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1107\"\u003e30 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e, and is recommended for \u003cstrong data-start=\"1132\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003eages 9+\u003c\/strong\u003e. It was designed by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003eJun Sasaki\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1201\"\u003eBruno Faidutti\u003c\/strong\u003e, with artwork by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1233\"\u003eJun Sasaki\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1257\"\u003eRie Komatsuzaki\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1mertym\" data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1315\"\u003eWhat We Think\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1317\" data-end=\"1551\"\u003eWe haven’t played \u003cstrong data-start=\"1335\" data-end=\"1352\"\u003eWhale to Look\u003c\/strong\u003e yet, but this one sounds very appealing if you like deduction games that are not just pure logic puzzles. The fun seems to come from the mix of clues, risk, and watching what everyone else is doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1553\" data-end=\"1820\"\u003eWe especially like the idea that the rival boats become part of the information. Sometimes you investigate for yourself, and sometimes you stare at another player’s boat placement and think, “Do they know something, or are they just making decorative ocean mistakes?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"2099\"\u003eIt also has that Oink Games quality where a tiny box somehow contains a full table presence. In this case, the game includes diamond-shaped cards, boats, investigation markers, whale and orca tokens, and chips, all packed into a small box. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"dj2fvu\" data-start=\"2101\" data-end=\"2126\"\u003eWhy You Might Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2128\" data-end=\"2319\"\u003eYou might like \u003cstrong data-start=\"2143\" data-end=\"2160\"\u003eWhale to Look\u003c\/strong\u003e if you enjoy hidden information, deduction, bluffing, reading other players, and games where you have to make a confident decision without knowing everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2321\" data-end=\"2567\"\u003eIt should be a good fit for fans of compact strategy games, Oink Games, and social deduction-adjacent games that still feel light and approachable. A tiny whale-watching trip where everyone is pretending their boat placement is deeply scientific.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oink Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48161813037291,"sku":"ONKWTL","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/5250\/6261\/files\/whale-to-look-board-game-oink-games-8251242.webp?v=1777572668","url":"https:\/\/wiredvillagegames.com\/products\/whale-to-look","provider":"WiredVillage Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
