In 12 Rivers, you lead one of four tribes in a parallel world where humans and nature coexist peacefully. You strategically place your warriors along rivers to collect nature’s bounties. Moving closer to the river’s source yields more valuable resources but requires more camp tools. After five rounds, players score points based on the rarity of their collected resources.
Who Is This Game For?
The game is designed for families and hobby gamers aged 10 and up, with a playtime of about 75 minutes. It suits players familiar with worker placement or set collection mechanics, though beginners can also grasp the rules with some effort.
How It Works
12 Rivers uses worker placement to position warriors along the river, collecting resources through set collection. The farther upstream you go, the more valuable—and costly—the resources become. After five rounds, you score your collected resources based on rarity to determine the winner.
