3D spatial puzzler in a magical world

Castles by the Sea is a delightful sandcastle-building game for 1-4 players. Our Kickstarter is fulfilling now, and Castles by the Sea will be available at retail in August!

Castles by the Sea takes place in a magical world hidden in plain sight. As a kingdom of Shorelings, your goal is to build and populate sandcastles. Find the perfect placement for your sand blocks and meeples, but beware of looming Hazards! This cleverly designed game combines puzzly spatial play with a delightful theme. Fans of games like Santorini and Tiny Towns will enjoy the challenge of optimizing their 3D castle-building on a shared grid.

In addition to the Hazards, you’ll face a surging tide that can destroy castles and remove pieces from the board. Play is more tactical as you react to the ebb and flow of the tide markers, building to take advantage of the board space that is appearing and disappearing each game round.
