About the game

What you do in a play session

The shore looks different than before, doesn't it? If you thought you had every crooked tree and worn pebble memorized, get ready: the Strange Shores expansion for The Last Lighthouse is here to mess with your head. Featuring three new Lighthouse cards, each with its own unique rules and challenges, the base game gets unexpected twists. Has the lighthouse really changed, or is it all in your mind, tormented by nightmares? This expansion is perfect for those who already enjoy the suspenseful and mysterious atmosphere of the original game and want another layer of complexity and immersion.

The deal here is that each new lighthouse replaces the one from the base game, altering the dynamics and forcing you to adapt to new conditions. It's a great option for those seeking a quick solo experience that still makes you think. As a card game in the 'print & play' style, it's super accessible. Just a heads-up: there might be moderate language dependency, so it's good to have a translated version of the cards or a reference sheet handy to avoid getting lost in the new mechanics. If you enjoy games with horror themes and a touch of psychological mystery, this expansion is a perfect fit to add more variety and an extra challenge to your collection.

Prepare to question reality and unravel the secrets of the new 'Strange Shores,' where familiarity gives way to subtle and intriguing horror. It's the perfect dose of novelty to keep the lighthouse lit and your mind on high alert!
