"I love this game and I recommend this to all my friends. One of my friends who is hard to please with games loves this game so much, he played it 9x in a row. He adored it. It’s simple enough to teach and short enough to play anytime you want, play as long as you want, and pass it on to others."
"Easy to teach and even easier to pack for travel. I have found this game to be well received by both "non-gamers" and true gamers alike. Once you play a round, keeps you wanting to play "one more". Highly recommend for the entire family."
"High tide is a fantastic and replayable abstract strategy game. The varied board setup means it never quite feels solved, and despite the simple rules, they offer enough depth for it be challenging to try to figure out what the next play is. Really glad there's an easily available version now!"
"I was looking for a travel game and a friend of mine recommended High Tide. I loved it!! I have 4 children and each of them enjoyed playing. It seems simple at first but as you continue playing there is a lot of strategy involved. We all really love playing this game at a restaurant, on the beach or after dinner while enjoying my family. For the first time they are actually putting down their cell phones!!"
"I really enjoyed my experience with the game!! The game pieces are well-made and drive home the cozy aesthetic. The quick individual rounds and intuitive mechanics with some depth make this game an excellent choice as the first game played during a game night."
"The vibes of this game are so fun and to me, calming! It’s intuitive enough to pick up pretty quickly and get a game going, and results in really friendly,chill competition. I love the tactile nature of the game too - the blocks just feel really good in the hand and I love a stacking mechanic. Will definitely be playing regularly this at picnics, peach outings, and get togethers."
"I bought this game because I think the designer is great and it was a reasonable price, but it turns out the game is REALLY good! It's a game you can learn in a couple minutes, and play several rounds back to back (first person who wins three rounds wins the game) and not get tired of it. It has such easy to understand rules, while still offering the satisfying decision space of a much more complex game. And the best part is, the game is so quick, my wife is always up for playing. So good."
"This games looks and feels great, love the components, real beachy feel. The gameplay is quite engaging, I can tell there is still a lot of strategy I haven’t grasped yet after several plays. Super replayable!"
"I picked this up a few months ago- it is beautiful, clever, and is now a go-to for traveling, especially now that the weather is getting more outdoor friendly. Only so many games can be equally at home in a bar as well as a campground or a quiet night at home- this is one of them."
"High Tide’s visual simplicity and beautiful components pull people in; watching the game for a few moments is enough to get the idea and make you want to play. But that is not to say the game is “basic”. There is a depth of strategy here that unroll itself to you over many, many plays. This game is a delight."
