12 Rivers

It is said that in the parallel universe, there is a different world in which human beings and nature can co-exist peacefully. The God of Nature provides abundant resources year after year, and the grace from nature spreads to the ground through the running rivers.

People view the resources in the river as "Nature's Bounty". People move along the river with alpacas to collect enough resources, ideally returning to the village with enough resources to start a prosperous year.

A beautiful game produced by our friends over the ditch (Good Games Publishing), 12 Rivers uses a unique "marble run" system in place of your more traditional cards/dice. Send your tribesfolk to collect your pearls from the river, stack them on your alpaca, give them to Villagers for endgame scoring.

Perfect for: a light boardgaming evening between people who want to try a different eurogame

Complexity: 1.6/5
