What is Beacon Patrol?

This turn-based board game adaptation puts you in command of a Coast Guard ship on the North Sea coast. Each turn, you place up to three tiles connected to your ship, move onto them, and can spend tokens for extra movement. Standard games end when all tiles are played; Exploration Mode replenishes tiles through scoring, while Creative Mode removes tile and movement limits.
