About this board game
The River is a fast, streamlined tile-placement board game for 2-4 players, with games taking around 45 minutes. Each player takes on the role of a mayoral pioneer striving to create the most impressive settlement along a river bed.
Develop untouched frontier land, collect resources from the surrounding area, and construct buildings to grow your town. Every decision counts as you shape the landscape and decide how to make the most of your developing settlement.
- Develop land along a river bed
- Collect resources from the area
- Construct buildings for your settlement
- Create an organized landscape to please the town’s aestheticians
Your workers are central to the expansion of your settlement. As you explore and build, some workers settle down along the way. This means the workers who remain active must shoulder more of the burden as you continue pursuing your plans.
The result is a focused game in which your choices shape both your growing town and the work your remaining workers must accomplish. Organizing the landscape is part of the challenge, giving each decision importance as the frontier develops.
Published in 2018, The River offers an accessible contest between 2-4 players. Build, gather, explore, and arrange your land as you compete to create the settlement that stands out above the rest.
