In order to best your opponents, you must construct valuable buildings and cultivate your River banks into harmonious and productive settlements. Expand your territory, conserve resources, and block your competitors from victory along the way. Every decision counts in this fast, streamlined tile-and-worker and placement game. As an added challenge, as you progress in the game, Your workers will periodically settle down and stop working for you, so your pool will get smaller and the decisions tighter. Very accessible and uidly thematic, the River is an elegantly smooth game packing a strategic punch for the whole family. Fans of Days of Wonder and the worker placement genre alike are sure to love this brand-new title from the award-winning Studio.

The River transports players to a rich land full of possibilities as they attempt to survive and thrive, building the best settlement in the new world to earn the highest score. |
Every player must manage their River board as they explore this new world and claim terrain, collect resources, including food, buildings, and new settlers, and earn bonus tokens. |
Managing Terrain tiles on your River board is key to producing and storing the right resources along with scoring Victory Points at the end of the game based on matching tiles in the River boards columns. |
Producing resources is important to expanding your new settlement along the river; however, you must ensure you have the facilities to store your goods, or they’ll go to waste. |

Reserve and construct buildings using your stored resources to gain Victory Points at the end of the game! |
The key to building the best settlement is your Pioneers. Without them, you won’t get far. |
Life in the new world can be difficult, so Pioneers may decide to settle down along the River and enjoy their hard work, leaving the others to pick up the work. |
Get ready to begin your new life in The River, a fun and fast game of tile-placement, from Days of Wonder! |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Beyond that its a fairly straight-forward point scoring game where the person who manages to get the best "engine" going will win.
I like these, but its definitely a "your mileage may vary" situation. If you don't like worker placement type games, this is not for you.

Gioco top.
Piace a tutto il mio gruppo di gioco.
Watch the videos online on how to play as some parts are a bit tricky.
Well thought out with multiple ways of winning
Easy to learn
One single criticism, would have been better if it had included score sheets and/or a scoring track
Highly recommend
