Turning Tides is a tile placement game for ages 5 and up. Players place tide pools, each containing a critter, and seek to create roads to the tide pool by matching compatible edges. Some tide pools will disappear faster than others as rising waters threaten shallower pools. As players build out a unique set of tide pools they may also block off any player who seeks to create a continuous path. Play time can range from 30 to 45 minutes depending on skill level. To play, download the two zip files containing the rules and fully colored game assets. To play you also need road sticks, such as these https://www.thegamecrafter.com/parts/stick-orange. For our play tests we used orange, blue, purple, and green sticks, however, any color is suitable. If you do not have sticks on hand, you may cut out rectangular pieces of colored paper(smaller than 1 by 1/2 inch) and use those instead, perhaps even folding them into tents for an easier time picking them up. If you really like the game, you can also order hard copies of all the assets here: https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/turning-tides?dept_uri=&dept_name=. — Nastia Garachtchenko
