About this game
Beacon Patrol is a cooperative and relaxing tile laying exploration game.
You play as captain of the Coast Guard, navigating the coast of the North Sea to secure its beacon buoys, lighthouses and waterways.
Work together with your friends and score points by creating the most complete map.
Enjoy the full board game experience, including the Ships & Shores expansion, as well as the digitally exclusive Endless Mode.
Start at the Coast Guard HQ and build your own coastal map from there.
Each turn you place up to three tiles, connecting to your ship‘s current location. Your ship immediately moves onto the newly placed tiles and you can spend tokens for additional movement.
Exchange a tile with another player or hold onto it for the next turn when playing solo.
The game ends when all tiles have been played. Explore tiles to score points and receive new tiles to keep on playing beyond the horizon.
