Board Game
by Torben Ratzlaff
30-45 Minutes
1-4 Players
Ages 10+
Turn your table into a colorful seafarer’s map!
Starting at the Coast Guard HQ you explore the coastline together by placing up three tiles each turn and moving your ship into the best position for the next round.
Placed tiles must not be rotated and all their edges have to match. You can also exchange tiles with another player once each turn.
Once all tiles have been played your group scores points for each tile that is connected to other tiles on all four sides.
