Beacon Patrol: Ships & Shores

Adds seven new ship types with distinct abilities and twenty new exploration tiles for expanded coastal encounters. Players recruit and operate different ships—each grants special actions such as refilling movement, swapping tiles, long straight-line movement, limited land movement, teleporting to outposts, or interacting with the discard pile. Some ships introduce additional tiles that change scoring opportunities and terrain challenges. Gameplay continues as players place and swap exploration tiles, move along the coast using movement tokens, and combine ship powers to navigate and protect the shoreline while managing the limitations each vessel imposes.
