Description

Get ready to ride the rapids with Canyon, a classic board game that's all about predicting your next move. Designed by Frederick A. Herschler and first published in 1997, this game is easy to learn but challenging to master. Players take turns trying to guess exactly how many tricks they'll take, with the number of cards in each hand increasing and then decreasing in size. As you navigate the scoring track, which winds its way through a canyon, you'll need to avoid getting caught in the rapids - a section near the finish line where a wrong move can send you tumbling backward. With its unique blend of betting, bluffing, and trick-taking, Canyon is a thrilling game of strategy and skill that's perfect for 3 to 6 players. Games typically last around 45 minutes, making it a great choice for a fun and fast-paced evening with friends.
