Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 7 out of 10

    It's such a simple, seemingly stupid design that it feels like something I might have invented when I was a teenager. But the whole thing miraculously comes together into a game I actually find quite fun. It's a pure efficiency puzzle, and can induce some serious AP, but options are limited enough to prevent excessively long turns and the game is just long enough to remain interesting through the duration.

    A new one for us. It combines elements from Azul, Reef and Seikatsu with a twist: Overdrafted pieces get passed to your opponent. Plays great for two! (Meaningfully puzzley for those who wanted to like Sagrada but felt the implementation was lackluster.)

    Pretty brain burn-y. You stare at the board a lot. Simple rules: order fulfillment, set collection. Looks great on the table.

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.
