Published by a UK company, Seaside Frolics is a family boardgame in which players visit an Edwardian seaside town. The object is to visit as many sights as possible and collect the relevant postcards, each of which have a different value. The 250+ individual miniature postcards are nicely produced and depict the atmosphere of the period. Essentially the game has a throw the dice and move mechanism but players must judge which attractions they have time to see in a limited period.
