  1. 8 out of 10

    I really enjoyed this game! It's easy to catch on to, but requires enough strategy that it can be played again. It is a visually appealing game and your opponents' decisions might thwart or help you as you play. I look forward to playing it again!

    This is a nice simple game of grabbing dice in order to score cards. I like the way you randomly set up the board and how you can strategically grab the dice based on angle of the line and value of the dice. There's also some interesting decisions on what type of cards you'll go for in order to maximize points and beat your opponents. The big flaw in the game is the analysis-paralysis. It takes time to view all the possible options and to find the perfect place to play your pawn and grab the best dice for your situation. It gets a little easier as the round goes on and the dice start to clear out, but early on the turns can really lock people up. Time to play suffers and therefore it just isn't one I'll pick to play as often as other similar games.

    Pretty to look at. Solo (and more) variant: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/181182/noctiluca-variants-compendium-arah

Be the first to review “Noctiluca”

On the warmest nights of the year, the otherwise quiet waters are filled with shimmering lights as the dormant noctiluca awaken. Renowned for their restorative properties, the noctiluca are desired by many healers. Only the most skilled divers can navigate the waters to collect these mysterious glowing creatures and deliver them to healers across the land. Can you catch the embers of the sea?

In Noctiluca, 104 colorful translucent dice fill the pool on the game board to represent the different glowing noctiluca. Players take turns diving into the water from the edges of the shore to collect the noctiluca dice from the board and keep them safely in jars until they can deliver them to healers. After two rounds, players compare points from their successful deliveries and the player with the most points wins.

Thanks to a double-sided game board, Noctiluca also includes a solo mode in which one player must rescue the noctiluca from the tempest.
