Sanibel: Shell collecting on the beach

In Sanibel, you walk along a Florida beach collecting beautiful shells. Choose how fast to move along the beach to get the best shells before your opponents. Then carefully place your shells in your bag to get the best harvest! This relaxing and strategic management game is by Elizabeth Hargrave, author of Wingspan.

How to play Sanibel

Game turns are determined by position on the beach: the player furthest back on the beach always plays first. On your turn, move as many spaces forward on the beach as you wish. Collect the shells from that zone and place them in your bag, “dropping” them to the bottom, similar to the game Tetris. The types of shells and where they land earn points in different ways. When you reach the end of the beach, turn around and return to your starting point. At the end of the game, you earn points based on the shells you have collected and how they are arranged in your bag.
