By the Seashore Board Game

Beachcombers compete to arrange their shells in beautiful ways.

2-4 Players, 30 Mins, Ages 10+

Features: Hand Management, Set Collection, Tile Placement

Theme: Card Game

Feel the warm sand beneath your feet and breathe in the salt-scented air as you compete to build the most impressive display of ocean treasures.

By the Seashore is a lightweight card game featuring hand management, set collection, and a clever spatial puzzle. Each item (starfish, sea glass, sand dollar, etc.) scores differently in your collection tableau, but you must "unlock" that item in order for it to score.

Play starts with six face-up cards in the middle of the table. On your turn, you can either trade up by discarding a card and taking one card of higher value or trade down by discarding a card and taking two cards of equal or lower value. Once you collect either a three-of-a-kind or a three-in-a-row, you can score that set; add one card to your tableau, pass one card, and dedicate the last for scoring. (You'll only score for symbols that you have dedicated in this way.) Different symbols shown on the cards have different scoring mechanisms, so cleverly arrange the cards in your tableau to maximize your points.

Play continues until everyone has at least five cards in their tableau, then you score. Whoever has the most points win!
