Description
In Noctiluca, you'll dive into a world of shimmering lights and mysterious creatures, competing to collect and deliver the coveted noctiluca to healers across the land. With a simple yet strategic ruleset, this 30-minute game is perfect for 1 to 4 players looking for a fun and challenging experience. The game's colorful translucent dice represent the glowing noctiluca, and players take turns collecting them from the hexagon grid board to store in jars until they can be delivered. As you navigate the waters, you'll need to think ahead and plan your moves carefully to outscore your opponents. With a double-sided board featuring a solo mode, you can even play alone, rescuing the noctiluca from the tempest. Designed by Shem Phillips and published in 2019, Noctiluca offers a unique blend of abstract strategy, puzzle-solving, and luck, making it a great addition to any game collection.
