During the game, players serve as the reef itself - alternating turns of carefully selecting which colors and patterns in which to grow and expand - the more beautiful the reef, the more points they will score!

Players will compete by playing multi-use cards that allow them to grow their reef in certain colors, then score it if they have matched the printed pattern. Reef is easy to learn and a delight to play – it offers a wonderful experience for every player.

REEF was created by acclaimed designer Emerson Matsuuchi - best known for designing the Century series. During the game, players serve as the reef itself, alternating turns carefully selecting which colors and patterns in which to grow and expand - the more beautiful the reef, the more points they will score!

Reef is suited for players 8 and older. While it could take thousands of years for a coral reef to grow, we expect a game of Reef to only take about 30 - 45 minutes.
