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 right over it!
Players must return collected gems to land in order to be counted. At the end, the player who collects the right combination of gems wins.
Niagara is a beautiful game with a very creative board and mechanic. The board is set on top of the box to create a 3D gamespace. With each turn, more clear water discs are added to the river, moving anything on it closer to the falls! A game of bluffing, careful calculation, and strategy, players who can plan well and judge what their competition may do will win the game!
