Nowhere near a balanced game—it didn't even date one "at another school" (that picture totally came with the wallet)—this is a "horror simulation experience" that tells the story of what happened aboard the doomed whaler Ishara on Halloween Night, 1850.
Think of it as a hex-'n-counter wargame / single-scenario RPG skirmish / party game and you're dead on. The slashes are important here because this thing is a goddamn frankenbeast stitched together from storm-flung carcasses. There is nothing else like it—not even close—and it lives. IT LIVES!
You can do it as a head-to-head wargame, or—for best results—as an event with 5 other people! (Don't forget (like I did) that when a player runs out of whalers & neutrals they can help run the monsters...)
