The River
The River review
The River is a fast-paced tile-placement game where players compete to build the best pioneer settlement. It's a fun, light game that's easy to learn and quick to play, making it a great choice for families and casual gamers.
I personally really enjoyed this game. I liked that you can focus on your own strategy without having to sabotage other players. The components are high quality and the artwork is beautiful. My wife and I find ourselves playing it all the time when we have a few minutes to spare.
It's definitely not the most complex game out there, but it's a great gateway game for people new to worker placement games. I've been able to introduce it to some friends who don't normally play board games and they all had a great time.
The River is a great choice if you're looking for a light, fun game with a quick play time. It's definitely not as complex as some other worker placement games, but it's still a lot of fun and I highly recommend it.
