A relaxing day at the beach turns into a friendly competition as players race to build the most impressive sandcastle. Using beautifully illustrated tiles filled with seaside details like windows, starfish, birds, buckets, and shells, players carefully craft their own castles while enjoying a lighthearted, summery theme that immediately draws people in. Sandcastles delivers cozy beach vibes with just enough strategic tension to keep players engaged.

This is a drafting and tile-laying game played over 15 quick rounds. Each round, players reveal tiles one at a time and decide whether to take the current tile or pass it along, knowing that waiting too long might leave them with fewer options. Taken tiles are added to a personal 55 grid, where placement rules and scoring icons reward thoughtful positioning and long-term planning. At the end of the game, players score their castles based on patterns, collections, and bonuses to determine who built the best sandcastle on the beach.
