Castles by the Sea is a fun and strategic game where 1 to 4 players build and populate a seaside kingdom as tiny folk called shorelings.

The game features a modular board and variable set-up, ensuring a unique experience each time. With its abstract strategy and city-building elements, Castles by the Sea offers a thrilling experience, especially for fans of games like Santorini. Published in 2023, this base game is designed by Michael Xuereb and Jon Benjamin, with an exciting expansion, Castles by the Sea: Riptide Expansion, available to further enhance the gameplay.
