Seaside(2024)

The sun is shining, as a light, salty wind sends cottony clouds scudding across the sky. Sandpipers filling their bellies with strange insects, crabs hiding under piles of rocks, seashells washed up on the sand, curling waves that break along the beach. Nature in its simplest beauty.

Seaside is a game that features only wooden tokens. One token at a time, create your Seaside with the elements the sea sends your way. The goal of the game is to have the highest stack of tokens.

On your turn, draw a token from the Bag, look at it secretly, choose the side that interests you and apply its effect. Once you have chosen the side of the token you'd like to play, it will remain like that for the rest of the game. Once you've applied the token's effect, your turn is over; pass the Bag to the player on your left.

If you pick a token with a blue design and throw it into the sea, you immediately take another turn. Your turn ends when you pick a token with a white design and put it on your Seaside.
