Rio Grande (2009)

About this game

Rio Grande is a card game whereby players use their cards to create rivers and score points through building bridges. The cards include straight sections, meanders, lakes, sandbanks and river estuaries. River cards are continued by virtue of the water colour (blue, green or brown) and/or the landscape they flow through (forest, rock, grassland or desert).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
