Beacon Patrol

About the game

What is Beacon Patrol?

You are captains of the Coast Guard. Together you check beacon buoys and lighthouses to ensure the safety of the North Sea coast. You place your tiles next to tiles that are already placed, move your ships, and explore the sea. Your goal is to explore as many tiles as possible. A tile is considered explored when it’s connected to other tiles on all four of its sides. Beacon Patrol is a co-op tile-laying exploration game in which you navigate the coast of the North Sea to secure its beacon buoys, lighthouses and waterways. —description from the designer
