About ShoreTiles

The light must never go out. In the middle of a cold, endless sea stands a solitary lighthouse. Around it, your island begins to take shape, tile by tile, piece by piece. The sun breaks through the clouds and hope is in the air, but something eerie lurks beneath the surface. ShoreTiles is a strategic building and defense game where strategy, wits and luck all contribute to your island’s ultimate fate. What begins as calm construction by day turns into a desperate fight for survival by night.

Build what must protect you:Draw island tiles from an unforgiving deck and place them into your world. There is no undo, only what comes next. Connect matching terrain types, form patterns, and impose order on chaos. Efficient planning rewards you. Hesitation costs you space. But no matter how perfect your island looks… it is never truly safe. Prepare while you still can:Coins are more than progress, they are your only form of control:Raise new Lighthouses to push back the fogBuild Settlements, Farms and Walls to bring your island to life and earn goldEstablish Military Camps to defend your island from they who lurk below Because when darkness falls, they rise:Creatures emerge from the depths.

Twisted forms, neither human nor beast. Silent. Relentless. Drawn to the lights and the lives of those on the shore. Your defense depends entirely on your preparation. Connected military tiles determine how many units stand against them.…
