Category: Expansion for wallet game

Take a stroll along the beach. Feel your toes digging into the sand. Discover a world of beautiful objects just waiting to be found. Whether you're picking up driftwood for your sculptures or sea glass for earrings, let Mother Nature be your muse as you follow the tides.

Tides is a game about collecting items from a beach. The goal is to score as many points as you can by making the most interesting sets of items. The tide is always changing; you never know what you’ll find on the beach!

Take cards from the row during LOW TIDE to collect items from the beach. During HIGH TIDE, flip the double-sided cards; the back side has scoring conditions. Score a set in either LOW or HIGH TIDE, by combining items you collected with a scoring card. Play until someone reaches 50 points. Finish the current low tide/high tide cycle. The player with the highest score wins!

Richard ★★★★★

The sea glass collecting mechanic adds a nice layer of set collection without slowing down the base game. Played it with two players and the sculpture-building goals gave us something to chase beyond just grabbing cards.

Zoe ★★★★★

I wasn't sure a wallet game could make a beach trip feel so real, but the scavenger hunt for sea glass actually changes how I play every round. The little driftwood sculptures are clever, and the whole expansion fits right back in the box without bulging. Perfect for quick summer sessions.

Jason E. ★★★★★

The driftwood pieces add such a fun layer to the game—I never thought sculpting between hands would feel this thematic. It’s like the beach stroll vibe carries right into every round, and the setup is quick enough to squeeze in a few games. We’ve played it three times tonight already.
