Question of the Day: Tell about your beach adventure!
Castles by the Sea is designed by Jon Benjamin and Michael Xuereb and illustrated by Marby Kwong. This game is published by Brotherwise Games who helped sponsor this preview for you!
In Castles by the Sea you'll take a role of the shorelings working to build and rebuild a tiny sandcastle kingdom through this three dimensional spatial puzzle. Each turn you'll acquire sand blocks and place them on the beach board, ensuring you're able to meet the conditions of your pieces so you can place as many as you can as having pieces placed on the board will earn your sand dollars each turn. The player with the most sand dollars at the end of the game will win!
Will you be the most successful group of shorelings?
Just a reminder that what you see here today is a prototype so the final product may look slightly different!

About Castles by the Sea, from BoardGameGeek:
Castles by the Sea is a puzzly sandcastle-building game for 1-4 players. As a group of tiny folk called "shorelings," your goal is to build and populate a seaside kingdom.
Each turn, you'll place blocks and meeples on the map to earn victory points. The core gameplay is similar to abstract strategy games like Santorini, in that players must optimize three-dimensional placement on a shared grid.
Hazards are the only source of randomness in the game, and even those depend on player choices. Each turn, you must choose your placement carefully, optimizing your score while interfering with your opponents' plans.
The game ends after a set number of turns. Few castles will remain standing after a final onslaught of hazards, but the the kingdom with the most sand dollars can claim victory.
