Sail the North Sea together, laying tiles to chart lighthouses, buoys, and coastline as a crew.
Who it's for
Cooperative-game fans and nautical themes lovers who want a calm, low-conflict puzzle to solve as a team.
Not for you if…
You want competitive tension at the table — this is purely cooperative with everyone working toward the same goal.
Vibe's take
Calm and collaborative — there's no competition at the table, just a shared puzzle of connecting tiles that slowly reveals a coastline everyone built together.
Beacon Patrol puts your crew in charge of the North Sea coastline, laying tiles together to chart buoys, lighthouses, and waterways as you sail. Every tile you add extends someone's route, and a stretch of sea only counts as explored once it's boxed in on all four sides. This German edition bundles the base game with the Ships & Shores expansion, so there's more coastline to chart from the first session.
