In Castles by the Sea, tiny Shorelings live in a world that's hidden from human eyes. These tenacious little heroes come to life thanks to the artwork of Marby Kwong. Every player will start with the same pieces, but each faction has its own flavor: the brave Shell Folk, the ambitious Crab Riders, the clever Seaglassers, and the peaceful Coral Kingdom. To the Shorelings, a toddling baby is “The Giant” and a terrier is “The Terror.” Inspired by the films of Studio Ghibli, the game’s artwork is heartwarming and evocative.
