Each player starts the game with a hand of beach cards: these cards include four copies each of items like beach balls, sunglasses, umbrellas, and so on; a dozen mermaids\/mermen; and seaweed, sneaker waves and a single sea monster. A deck of shell cards – with cards worth 1-4 points and starfish action cards – is shuffled and placed on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a turn, a player can discard a mermaid\/merman or matching pair of items to take the top shell card, discard a mean mermaid to steal another player's shell card, ask another player for an item card (a la \u003cem\u003eGo Fish\u003c\/em\u003e, drawing a card if you come up empty and scoring if you hit), play a sneaker wave to remove one opponent's shell card from play, or play seaweed to force someone to draw a beach card. If someone collects a shell card that is worth points, that player places the card on the table; if the shell card features a starfish, every player passes one beach card left or right as instructed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game ends when a player has no cards left in hand or has only the sea monster in hand. In the latter case, this player must discard all of the highest-value shell cards that she has collected. The player with the most shell points wins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gamewright","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":618931433,"sku":"101105","price":8.04,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Mermaid_Beach.jpg?v=1578608888","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/mermaid-beach","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
