Tidal Blades: Defenders of the Reef
I have a soft spot for pretty games and fabulous covers attract me like moths. Then I can only hope that the mechanics will not differ from the performance and I will not have to say goodbye to the new box. Fortunately, the game Tidal Blades: Reef Defenders from Galakta did not disappoint me and found its permanent place on my shelf.
During the game, we take part in the Grand Tournament to be honored with joining the elite guard. We will achieve this by visiting different locations to collect resources, perform actions and complete challenges, and when we are more confident in our preparation, also kill monsters. Mechanically, we mainly have worker placement and dice management here. Everything meshes nicely and even though it’s a Eurogame, you can feel a bit of atmosphere in it, a lot of competition and a race against other players.
Tidal Blades: Defenders of the Reef is a game that won my heart with its mechanics and appearance, which is why I believe it deserves to be among the best board games released in Poland in 2022. I also hope that the next titles in the series will appear on the Polish market soon.
