The world

On a windswept islet, the last keepers of an old lighthouse face the longest night of the year. The lamp is fading, the oil is running low, and out at sea, ships are searching for the passage between the reefs.

How it feels to play

Each round, the storm reveals a new card. You split the work: carry oil up, repair the lens, guide the ships. Nobody can do everything alone, and the game turns on the group's choices.

Who it is for

Families with children aged 10 and up, casual players, and cooperative game fans looking for a tense game in under an hour.

How to play

Goal : Keep the lighthouse lit until dawn and guide at least five ships safely to port.

A round

  1. Reveal the round's Storm card and apply its effect.
  2. Each keeper plays one Task card from their hand.
  3. Move each ship one space toward the passage.
  4. Remove one oil cube from the lighthouse supply.
  5. Move the night marker forward one space.
