Description

Get ready to ride the raging torrent of Niagara Falls in this thrilling adventure game. You and your fellow players are competing to see who can keep their canoes afloat the longest on the rapid waters. Each of you will choose two canoes of the same color and place them at the starting line, eager to begin the challenge. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be diving into the action in no time, navigating the dangers of the river with every roll of the dice. As you play, you'll throw three dice to determine how your canoes move - two standard dice and a special one with blank sides and stars. If a star turns up, the movement mechanism kicks in, sending your canoes hurtling towards the edge of the waterfall. But here's the twist - you can use your dice rolls to move not just your own canoes, but those of your opponents too, adding a fun layer of strategy and sabotage to the game. And watch out for those tree trunks floating on the river, which can force you to rethrow for your canoes, changing your fortunes in an instant. With its unique blend of luck and skill, Niagara is a game that's all about staying one step ahead of the competition and riding the rapids to victory.
