Hey everyone, We're so happy to finally bring you the cute companions you deserve at sea! Your seagull friend will be at your side while you map these uncharted waters. In a future update we plan to bring tips and comments to our little fellas, but for now they just cheer you on and celebrate when you complete missions or score points. You can unlock new seagull buddies by reaching new ranks in-game. Furthermore we have finally added the possibility to have a look at your finished map once you have finished a game.

Happy sailing to you and your seagull friends!

Version 0.6.20

Hey everyone, Version 0.6.20 brings some first scoring UI improvements.
- Tiles display their score when you explore them - Hover over a tile to see its score (if any) - Hover over the total score on the top left to see all tile scores On a side note, the menus are now controllable with keyboard and controller. This is not exciting yet, but full controller support is in the works!

Beacon Patrol: First Horizons is a relaxing strategy game with endless possiblities.

Steer your Coast Guard ship and build your own coastal map one tile at a time.

Get more tiles by exploring and keep building indefinitely as long as you can keep scoring.

Start with your ship at the Coast Guard HQ and you build your map from there.

On your turn you place up to three tiles, connecting to the tile your ship currently occupies. Tiles must not be rotated and all their edges have to match.

After placing a tile you immediately move your ship onto it. By spending one of your tokens you can take an additional movement to a connected tile.

You score points for each tile that is connected to other tiles on all four sides. For scored points you receive new tiles to continue your journey.

The game ends after allavaialble tiles have been played.

Beacon Patrol: First Horizons combines the look and feel of a board game with the endless posibilities of a digital experience.

Experience this cozy and strategic game at any time.

The clear and cute art style lets you enjoy the coast and the sea from where ever you are.
