Sanibel Island, Florida is known for its treasure trove of seashells. Stroll its shore and collect shells and other natural wonders: sand dollars, sea stars, crabs, and more! In the Sanibel board game, designed by Elizabeth Hargrave, players move their player token along the beach-themed board, drafting shell tiles and strategically arranging them on their mat for points. Collect different shell sets and combinations to earn the most points possible. The player with the highest score wins!
Stroll along the beaches of Sanibel Island and gather its famous natural treasures in Sanibel. Move along the shared shoreline, select shell tiles and carefully arrange each find inside your personal collection bag to create valuable sets and combinations.
Different tile shapes and scoring patterns reward thoughtful drafting and spatial planning as the beach changes throughout the game. Collect shells alongside sand dollars, sea stars, crabs and lighthouse discoveries, then compare collections to determine the most successful beachcomber.
