12 Rivers

Lead a tribe to explore the fabled twelve rivers flowing from a mystical lake high in the mountains. Your goal? To find the magical coloured pearls that roll down the rivers in the current. Perhaps a helpful fairy may help you on your quest! Where the rivers converge there is a village where you can make life-long friends and deliver the pearls you have collected, to be used to heal, grow, and ensure another prosperous year for all.Take turns over 4 game rounds to trade through the galactic exchange, smuggle resources, settle planets, and build developments on them to match planetary goals and increase your production and victory points. Expand your economy until you can build powerful mega-structures in space, and achieve your system wide production supremacy goals. Leverage events, manipulate the markets, and outwit and outbuild your rivals to victory!

A tight and dramatic worker placement, pearl collection, goal chasing game. Feel the tension as you carefully place your tokens, and the drama as you release the pearls to roll down the board into players’ tribe tokens. Collect pearls one by one, releasing the remainders to roll further down river.

• Lift the floodgate to release the pearls down the rivers. 
• Carefully decide where to place your tribe tokens to maximise your chances of capturing the right pearls.
• Move your pearls from your alpacas to your villager tiles, and try to gain the most useful scoring opportunities.
• Play fairy tokens or pairs of cards to gain special actions.
• A big variety of villager tiles means you can create scoring synergies and then go for the pearls that benefit you the most.
