Read the full game description
Tenby is a card-drafting city builder inspired by the pastel terraces and sweeping waterfront of the Welsh town. Over ten rounds, players select day cards that determine both turn order and action strength, then draft terrace, pier, and landmark cards from a shared market. Cards form flexible streets, and their value depends on adjacent features such as doors, clouds, waves, shutters, and seagulls. Resident cards introduce private objectives, while life-ring tokens let you bend the draft at key moments. Taking the strongest action now often means acting later next round, so the game combines a tranquil presentation with a sharp tempo puzzle. The full rules support one to five players, including a dedicated solo system, while a family variant creates a lighter shared-street experience. Every finished town looks distinct, yet every placement remains tied to the details around it.
