Beacon Patrol: Ships & Shores

Description

Beacon Patrol: Ships & Shores

Expand your coastal patrols by teaming up with new vessels — each brings special abilities to help you navigate and defend the shoreline. Use their powers wisely: they can be powerful aids, but most demand careful use of movement tokens and tactical planning.

Ship abilities:

• Construction Ship: When you place a tile, refill 1 movement token.
• Research Vessel: Once per turn you may swap up to 2 tiles.
• Coast Guard Ship: Spend 1 movement token to move to any Outpost tile or to the Beacon Patrol HQ.
• Hover Craft: Spend 1 movement token to place a tile that’s land-connected and move onto it; spend 2 movement tokens to move 1 space over land.
• Pilot Ship: You may place tiles that connect to you by land. You cannot move onto a tile you just placed unless you spend a movement token.
• Ferry: Spend 1 movement token to move up to 3 tiles in a straight line. You may not swap tiles on a turn when you use this.
• Submarine: Swap one of your unplayed tiles with the top tile of the discard pile. (Note: discarding tiles does not refill movement.)

Some ships also introduce new tiles into play, opening fresh scoring opportunities and adding new challenges to your patrols.
