The Last Lighthouse (2024)

About this game

At the edge of the horizon, the nightmares begin. You, and you alone, defend the lighthouse that keeps them at bay. Can you keep this beacon shining until the dawn, or will you succumb to the spreading darkness? The Last Lighthouse is the fourth Simply Solo entry from Scott Almes. Protect against an ever-growing line of unique nightmares by deploying specialized traps. Place traps wisely to eliminate as many nightmares as possible before they damage your lighthouse and ultimately destroy it. With elegant rules and multiple levels of difficulty, The Last Lighthouse offers plenty of challenge for both casual and dedicated players.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
