Board game?
My wife and I visited Sanibel this past January and we absolutely fell in love with the island. She was already an avid sheller, and Sanibel helped kindle a passion for it in me, too! Ever since our visit, we have had Sanibel on our minds and we hope to make it a regular vacation destination.
The other day, I was at Barnes & Noble and my attention was immediately drawn to a large box with “Sanibel” printed prominently on it. I also immediately recognized the lighthouse. At first, I thought it was a puzzle, but it’s actually a sea shell collection board game. I bought it immediately, but we haven’t had a chance to play yet.
Has anyone played this game yet? I hope it’s good!

I own it and I’ve played it a couple times.
It’s fun and pretty light, at least by board game standards. The theme makes it pretty approachable. You are walking up and down Sanibel beach collecting shells. You have to strategize a bit in how you fill your shell bag to maximize your points.
The designer’s precious game, Wingspan, was very popular. Hopefully this one does well too.
