Description Description
Welcome Heroes! Many magnificent contestants have signed up for the tournament but only a handful will be chosen to join the Tidal Blades, the elite guards of our island realm. To succeed in the Tournament and be chosen as a Tidal Blade, you must compete in Challenges held in the 3 Arenas, rise to the top of the Champion’s Board, and protect the realm from the ever increasing threat of the Monsters from the mysterious Fold.

It has been fifteen years since the Great Battle; 15 years since the Arcanists from the Citadel of Time made their terrible choice and created the Fold; 15 years since the last assemblage of Tidal Blades. The Arcanists folded space and time to stop the onslaught of creatures from the depths, but now new Monsters have appeared, the hard-earned days of peace are coming to a close and the islands need protection. A tournament has been called, the Arenas are ready, the inhabitants of all the islands are gathering, and young heroes from across the realm are showing up to compete to be named a Tidal Blade: Hero of the Reef.

In Tidal Blades: Heroes of the Reef, each player takes the role of a young hero competing to be named a Tidal Blade. The tournament takes place over 5 Days and Nights. By gathering the needed resources, signing up to compete in Challenges and timing your arrival at different islands you can make the most of your Hero’s turns and rise in the ranks of the contestants.

Each day you will send your hero to take actions on the different Locations and to undertake Challenges. Each action will gain you the resource or effect listed on the action space as well as the Location bonus. At the Arenas you may then attempt a Challenge that matches your Location, and at the Fold you may battle a monster. Completing Challenges and fighting monsters will advance your character in the four traits of Focus, Spirit, Resilience and Synergy.

Each Tidal Blade will be judged at the end of the 5 rounds based on the Challenges they have completed, the level of each of their Traits, their standing on the Champions Board, and the monsters they have fought.

Exactly the right game for me. Since you only have 12 actions, getting to certain achievements feel heroic, like maxing a stat, becoming a 10-point champion, beating certain challenges or solo-killing a monster. There is plenty of luck involved as well, which makes the game more playable with more people. Some people may not like the downtime between turns, but I found it enjoyable to watch my rival's plan unfold with die roll and even help them out a bit. It's really complex, but light at the same time. One of my favorites up there with Spirit Island. Also gorgeous.

This is a stunningly beautiful game, with very fast and fun gameplay. Each hero provides a lot of unique hero powers which give a long tail of replayability which I look forward to exploring! Very outstanding title.

After the 2nd play.. I still think it is one of the great games and I will always enjoy playing it. p.s. I'm going after the monsters only in the last round because I don't want to lose dice.. I just cannot stand losing all my hard earned progress :)

This stunning looking game delivers a lot of satisfying content in a big box. Tidal Blades is a challenging game that gives you some tough decisions to balance. The theme, mechanics, and presentation are really well done and this game is just incredibly fun. Something about this game really hits a sweet spot for me, and I absolutely love it!

Any serious gamer should genuinely seek out this experience. I can't recommend this game highly enough and the art and components are second to none. I mean it, watch a "how to play" video and come back and tell me it doesn't excite you to try.
