Editorial Review
Players work together to keep the tide at bay in this creative, cooperative game from Family Pastimes. The goal is to build three different sand castles before the waves come in and wash them away. Players take turns rolling a die, with a result of 1 to 3 earning the player construction materials (shovel, sand, pail), and a 4 to 6 forcing the player to move a wave one space closer to shore. A few bad rolls can quickly turn the tide against the group, and the players must work together in order to win. Players can help each other by pooling their resources: if a player has a pail and a shovel and the next player rolls and gets some sand, then together they can turn all three resources in to get one section of sand castle. In addition, any player can build a sand wall instead of a section of castle. When a wave hits a sand wall, it is sent back to its starting space, buying the players more time.
Strategy, planning, cooperation, and the random time limit combine for an exciting game. Parents and older children will have fun working with the younger kids to finish building castles before the waves roll in. --Michael Fehlauer
Family Pastimes Sand Castles
This is a gentle game about helping each other to build sand castles by the beach. It's a quiet, beautiful day with water lapping at the shore. But a wind begins to stir and some large waves move slowly toward the castles. Can you finish all three of them before those big waves wash in? Gather some sand, share your pails and shovels and work hard together. This way, you have a much better chance of finishing. But, oh, oh...the waves are getting closer and closer. Should you make a big sand wall to protect the castle? Or take a chance and keep building the castle up? Decisions, decisions. All in all, this is an exciting game of strategy that gets you thinking. It includes: a 6" x 24" board, pails, shovels, sand castles, waves, sand walls, die and a chart.

Customer Reviews
My 6yo son and I really like this one. We have several from Family Pastimes, and this is in the top choices! Combines strategic thinking and really working together (although I like that you can choose to make your own sandcastle or work with others). Hard to play with kids younger than 5 or 6.
