"The most requested board game since we invented it in 1978," according to cooperativegames.com. "Players work together to “save” 8 great whales: Bowhead, Fin, Blue, Gray, Humpback, Right, Sperm and Orca. Meanwhile, oil spills, radioactive waste and catcher ships are moving these great whales toward extinction. Players earn 'survival points' and make group decisions to save the whales. Children love to hold the shiny, cast metal whales and learn their names. 2 - 4 players, ages 8 to adult." Never opened, shrink-wrapped box.
