Community Review

Fan-submitted review from Debbie Bregman-Buis for 12 Rivers:

Hike with your crew up the mountain and pick up the best pearls to gain favors with the villagers.

12 Rivers is a light set collection strategy game. Do you go for the best pearls, which cost a lot of camp cards. Or do you go for the lake and concentrate on villagers.

This is a great game. Awesome to play with kids, but also a great game for adults. The components of the game are great and of an amazing quality. The board is amazing and one of a kind with a real table presence.

Not one game is the same. Enjoyment guaranteed.
