2–4 playersby Josh WoodAlderac Entertainment Group (AEG)
In Santa Monica, players create the most appealing oceanfront in Southern California by drafting feature cards to build up their beach (top row) and street (bottom row). Features work together through chains and adjacencies to gain victory points. Players can create calm nature-focused beaches, bustling tourist destinations, or something in between to appeal to locals. Each turn involves drafting cards, placing them strategically, taking placement actions to gain resources and move visitors, and managing VIPs who leave footprints as they explore the city.
Objective
Create the most appealing oceanfront by strategically placing feature cards to maximize victory points through chains, adjacencies, activity rings, footprints, and scoring objectives.
