Who it's for

Players who like tactical, interactive building games with a board-altering hook and enjoy meddling with rivals' plans.

Not for you if…

You want smooth balance or a strong theme. Redirecting rivers can feel chaotic and mean, and the design shows its mid-2000s roughness.

Vibe's take

A tactical, interfering build-up where rerouting the rivers with dams reshapes who prospers, turning water control into a constant tussle.

About this game

You move workers along two rivers, building houses on the banks and cashing in when hexes pay out in money or lumber. The wild twist is that you can build dams to redirect the rivers themselves, changing which lands prosper and which dry up. First to finish your five buildings, or the right riverside set, wins.
