- Notes: Castles by the Sea is a tactile, three-dimensional game set in a world inspired by The Secret World of Arrietty. Players, as tiny citizens, build sandcastles, fulfilling construction requirements using blocks of sand. The game includes various building and character cards, each with unique effects. Players face challenges from beach life, like a baby giant or a kite dragon. The game's objective is to build and maintain as many standing structures as possible, amidst the whimsical beach threats.
