Build
Build and upgrade castles and buildings.
Every castle rises in three levels. Play Castle 2 on top of Castle 1, then Castle 3 on top of that. Buildings like the Watch Tower add powers of their own.
Battle
Defend your castles and attack enemy castles with unique armies
Attacking armies stack top to bottom in front of a castle, with each red attack star peeking out above the next. Defending armies go behind the castle. A castle stack shows only its top defense value.
- War Turtle stacks on the Lobster, the Lobster’s star peeking out above
- Lucky Star moves behind your castle to defend it from Seaweed
Nature
Trigger attacks with nature cards. Attacking value > defending = the castle falls!
- Rain triggers the attack
- Pelican attacks with 5. Castle 1 defends with 4.
- 5 > 4: the castle and the Pelican both fall
Sand
Fallen castles and attached armies become sand!
Flip them over and add them to your sand pile. Every card in the game has sand on its back.
Spend
Build better buildings and more powerful armies with sand!
Pay sand equal to the cost. Count the sand coins down the left edge of a card: Pelican and High Walls each cost 2.
Gulliver
Take special actions with Gulliver the giant
- Snatch takes a creature into your hand
- Alliance draws 2 cards
- Sand Bomb destroys a castle, army or building with 2 defense or less
Victory
First to complete and defend 2 full castles for a turn wins!
A full castle is Castle 1, Castle 2 and Castle 3 stacked together. Finish two and hold them for a turn, and the beach is yours.
Landmarks
Purchase landmark buildings to change the game in your favor, or purchase the castles beneath them!
54 landmark buildings keep every game unique. Flip one over and you’ll find the castle shown by the badge on its side.

Six nature cards
If nobody finishes and defends 2 castles by the time 6 nature cards are played, whoever has the most castle cards wins!
- Rain is played as the 6th nature card
- Count every castle card in your stacks
- Player 1 has 5. Player 2 has 4.
- 5 > 4, so Player 1 wins
