Description

When a whale dies it eventually falls to the ocean floor. This serves as a nutrition bomb, supporting a whole ecosystem with food and habitat. Use your cards to take a slice of the pie. Whoever devours the most whale wins... Bonus points for taking the eye.

This game is home grown and was a semi-finalist in the Lunchtime Game Challenge. This is the very first time the game has been made available. It is well-tested and fun, but please forgive the prototype-level art. If people seem to dig it, then I'll consider scaling up with improved art and graphic design.

Please note: Whale Fall comes in an unprinted small stout box to keep the total cost of the game to a minimum.
