Refuge

About this board game

Refuge is a tile-drawing board game for 2–4 players with a play time of 45 minutes. Each player builds a walk by drawing tiles from their bag and placing them in front of them.

Every tile added to your bag can influence your chances of earning points. Choose these additions carefully, balancing the possibilities they create with the need to make the most of future draws.

The weather adds urgency to the walk. Keep a close eye on it as you develop your collection of tiles, because the storm may burst before you are safely back at the refuge.

Refuge combines bag-based tile drawing, tile placement, point scoring, and a changing weather concern in one focused journey. Your decisions about which tiles to add matter throughout the game, while the approaching storm keeps the return trip in view.

Whether you are planning your next draw or watching the weather, each choice contributes to the challenge of completing your walk successfully. The aim is not simply to build a promising selection of tiles, but to do so while making sure you can get back to the refuge in time.

With room for 2–4 players and a listed playing time of 45 minutes, Refuge offers a compact contest of careful selection and timing. Draw from your bag, place your tiles, pursue points, and never lose sight of the storm.
