Description
They say that the ocean is the inspiration for countless works of
great art. Such is the case with Mermaid Beach, a game that
came about while 8-year-old Emily Ehlers, of Portland, Oregon spent
an entire year living aboard a sailboat and travelling the world by sea. Emily,
along with help from her brothers, Jake and Drew, came up this wildly
imaginative card game that has all elements of a great Gamewright game:
fantastic art, whimsical characters, and a set of rules that are easy to learn,
yet engaging enough to lure you back for more. No word whether Emily visited a
real Mermaid Beach during her trip, but if so, we hopes she returns there
someday to teach the mermaids her game!
