About the game

Tideward is a board game from Hasbro, designed by Connie Vogelmann (2027). It plays 2–4 players in 45 minutes, for ages 10+. It is a medium-light game (2.0 / 5 on BoardGameGeek).

Tideward is a family strategy game from Avalon Hill, designed by Connie Vogelmann. You hatch green sea turtle eggs and get the babies down the beach, into the water and onto the Algal Mat, where they're safe.

  • On your turn you hatch eggs, move turtles and pick up food tokens. Spend food to hatch more eggs or move farther.
  • Ghost crabs wait at the shoreline. A turtle caught on a crab space is lost and counts against your score.
  • At the end of each round the tide board turns 90°, carrying turtles toward new spots on the mat.
  • Four Algal Mats, each with its own scoring and secret Tide Quest cards, so games play out differently.

Players: 2-4   Ages: 10+
