In
the wild rapids of the Niagara River, fearless canoers battle
the water and each other to collect gems along the riverbank.
Of course, the most valuable gems are found furthest down-river,
close to the waterfall. Yes, there is a waterfall, and careless
canoers can fall over the waterfall. Also, players must return
collected gems to land in order to be counted. At the end, the
player who collects the most value in gems is the winner.
Players
play on a 3D board, representing the Niagara River and the falls.
Canoes float down the river as the river flows, but players can
row their canoes up-river or down-river to collect gems, to return
them to shore, and to avoid the waterfall. This game is great
fun for the family, but is strategic and gives players the chance
to plan and steal from one another.

Contents:
1 game board, 12 river discs, 10 canoes, 35 paddle cards, 1 rainmaker marker, 1 life preserver, 40 gems, 1 rule booklet. Box size approximately 30 x 30 x 8cm
Niagara Expansion: Spirits of Niagara
The hunt for the gems continues! Malicious rapids challenge the skills of the canoeists who want to get a good haul. The only hope for a desperado is to call the river spirits. People say that Bathing Beaver and Hurried Elk have already helped many adventurers to become rich and saved them from falling over the waterfall during a storm. But this also encourages pilferers who can now make a lot more profit. Requires Niagara to play.
Contents: 25 paddle cards, 6 double canoes, 1 single canoe, 1 bathing beaver, 1 hurried elk, 1 whirlpool, 1 rectangular sticker, 1 rule booklet.
