Gold am Orinoko

About this board game

Gold am Orinoko is a 20-minute adventure game for 2–4 players, challenging explorers to cross a raging river and collect the most gold.

Deep in the jungle, the ruins of an ancient culture lie along the mysterious Orinoco River. Gold has been discovered on the far shore, but the only way across is by leaping from one floating tree trunk to another. The adventure begins at Guarda, the legendary rocky knoll said to be the guardian of the gold.

Players guide their adventurers through the dangerous crossing while the trunks drift downstream. As the trunks shift and explorers jump between them, every move demands attention to both the changing river and the positions of the other players.

• Players: 2–4
• Play time: approximately 20 minutes
• Core challenge: combine luck and tactics to cross the river safely
• Goal: bring adventurers across and collect the most gold

The moving trunks create a constantly changing route, turning the journey into a tense race across the water. A daring leap may bring an explorer closer to the treasure, while careful decisions help keep adventurers safe and secure.

With its jungle setting, floating-trunk crossing, and direct competition for treasure, Gold am Orinoko offers a compact contest of timing, bravery, and tactical awareness. The player who guides their adventurers safely across the Orinoco and gathers the most gold wins.
