Santa Monica Board Game Review: A fun and challenging card placement game where players build their own beach and boardwalk while placing tourists, locals and VIPs to gain points. The game offers a lot of replayability and meaningful decisions, and is full of head-scratching when trying to chain cards, making it unique and fun. The components have nice art and meeples, and the game is lightweight which makes it accessible even to non-board game players. The only downside is the huge box. Overall, Santa Monica is a delightful diversion that can be enjoyed by everyone.
