​Is Beacon Patrol the most chill and intense puzzle game I've played all year? 🚢
​It looks cozy, but the tile-laying strategy is no joke. Watch my full review to see me try (and fail) to build the perfect coastal map!​

All the amazing games I got at Essen Spiel this year 🤩

"A Carnivor did it" is a great logic puzzle to enjoy alone or with friends 🔍

"Parks - Roll & Hime" is a super cute roll-and-write hiking game ⛰️

"The Electrum-Archive" is a Sci-Fi-Fantasy TTRPG set in a strange world 🛸

Esta tarde he sacado Beacon Patrol a 3 en familia ha estado guay, ha gustado mucho. Ha habido efecto lider, pero no ha venido mal porque así nos hemos ayudado. No soy fan de superar puntuación pero lo hemos pasado bien y creo que le voy a dar en solo y familia. Producto majete.

El jueves pillé un par de ricas ofertas que llegaron ayer y anoche ya estrené una de ellas, Beacon Patrol, en solitario. Un puzle majete que creo que jugaré bastante y que probaré pronto con más gente. Además es muy vistoso y cuco.

Don't forget to check out the new digital version of the tile-placement boardgame Beacon Patrol!
Chart the coastline with friends in the new digital version of the puzzly boardgame Beacon Patrol · Thinky Games
Beacon Patrol is a charming and challenging tile-placement boardgame, one of my favorite co-operative games from the past few years. With its new Steam release you can work together digitally to maneuver your coast guard ships and map the islands of the North Sea.

Game break! You've joined the North Sea Coast Guard and your job's to map the shoreline, identifying lighthouses and buoys. Can you do it and win the game "Beacon Patrol"? Here's my solo play review: planetdave.com/2025/09/game...

Beacon Patrol – Review

Seagulls, turn-based tactics, and the open sea make for a compelling co-op digital board game adaptation.
