In the game Reef, players take on the role of the reef itself, alternating turns in which they carefully select the colors and patterns in which to grow and expand — the more beautiful the reef, the more points they score!

Family weight abstract strategy game with pattern building and hand management. Reef is a good game for players who like to plan ahead and hold on to high scoring cards to maximize points, but also rewards those who use cards for quick scoring. A brightly colored game with good component quality, Reef is well recommended.

Combined into one box: First and Second Edition along with Kings of Coral expansion. Fun simple game using spatial ingenuity and hand management. Some poo-poo it as "parts thrown together to make a game", but I enjoy it. So much so that our group already owned a copy, but I wanted one for my own collection. Can be easily played at the pub. Update 2022: it doesn't hit the table much anymore. And I can always borrow my buddy's copy. As I am trying to limit my collection, I have to make painful cuts and this one was right on the bubble. Who knows, I MIGHT rebuy this one down the road, but for now, I think we can go our separate ways to see other people. Update Mid 2022: The member of the game group who owned it moved away, so this is staying. I actually got this to the table for a 2 player session and once the other player knows what they are doing, it’s like “Speed Reef”. The last 2 games we knocked out in close to 10 minutes each. This game seems to only hit the table every year or so, but when it does we all go: “this is such a quick and enjoyable experience despite the wins and losses”. #REEFermadness Status: The Collection

UPDATE: [9.2019] Azul is my game of preference over Reef in the family-friendly abstract strategy category. [8.2018] After experiencing the popularity of Azul with my family, I am looking forward to getting this game into my collection.
