River Dragons – Chaos on the River Between Bridges and Pitfalls
Who will be the first to reach the other side of the river? In River Dragons , each player attempts to forge their own path across waters filled with deception, obstacles, and… mischievous dragons! In this abstract, strategic board game , you'll have to plan five actions ahead, lay down wooden boards, balance precariously, and sabotage each other's plans.
But be careful: everyone is planning their actions simultaneously , so what you've carefully planned could turn into a spectacular disaster if someone removes your bridge at the wrong time. It's a game that combines simultaneity, bluffing, and sabotage in a chaotic and entertaining dance above the delta waters.
River Dragons is ideal for families and groups of friends who want to laugh, shout, and (gently) sabotage each other. The rules are simple, but the tension is high at every turn. All this is topped off with a bright aesthetic and vibrant illustrations that capture the imagination of the youngest... and the naughtiest!
What makes River Dragons irresistible
- Simultaneous Action Selection : Plan 5 moves and cross your fingers
- Continuous sabotage and low blows to hinder opponents
- Modular and double-sided boards for ever-changing games
- Perfect for families and party games with guaranteed laughs
- Colorful and dynamic components , easy to explain and engaging to play
If you thought building a bridge was boring… you haven't tried it with five other saboteurs around. 🐉🐸

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Build your own path on the river to reach the other bank
Each player must reach the island opposite the starting point with their pawn, crossing the river via wooden bridges built one turn at a time. It seems easy... but everyone tries to do it together!
2. Secretly plan 5 actions to be performed in order
At the start of each round, each player secretly chooses five action cards to perform in the order they choose. Actions include placing stones, laying planks, moving, or... hindering others.
3. Resolve actions simultaneously and deal with unexpected events
Actions are revealed and resolved sequentially. Sometimes bridges disappear, planks collapse, or someone steals your ideal move. It takes adaptability and reading your opponents to avoid getting stuck.
4. Watch out for Dragon cards!
Players can use Dragon cards to cancel another player's action that turn, creating chaos and turning the tables in an instant. A well-played card can save you... or ruin the game for others.
5. The first person to cross the river safely wins.
Whoever manages to move from one bank to the other without falling into the water and before the others wins. But be careful: every mistake or wrong move can cost you precious time!

River Dragon
One step closer to victory. Or it sends you tumbling into the water.
An abstract game that turns into a minefield of intuition and mischief. And the dragon... watches.
River Dragons: Bridges, Sabotage, and Water Strategy
Crossing a river doesn't seem difficult.
But try doing that with unstable bridges , opponents standing in your way , and legendary dragons silently watching .
In River Dragons (the international edition of the classic Dragon Delta), you play as young apprentices who must reach the opposite shore by building wooden walkways across treacherous waters.
The problem is that every action must be planned in secret . And others can sabotage you by removing boards or placing stones where you don't expect them.
An abstract title but with a chaotic and mischievous soul, perfect for families and groups who love elegant mockery and evil laughter .
River Dragons: The abstract game where chaos dances on the water
River Dragons is an abstract, strategic board game for 2-6 players , with simple rules but an unpredictable soul.
Each round, everyone secretly chooses 5 actions to perform in order: place stones, place planks, move, sabotage others.
But the heart of the game is interaction: you never know what others will do , and every move can become a fatal mistake if you lack the right intuition.
The simultaneity of actions creates a tactical dance in which every mistake is spectacular and every successful move is a small triumph.
With its fairy-tale graphics , double-sided board and evocative illustrations , it is an ideal title for those looking for a competitive, but not banal, family game .
Perfect even for the youngest: simple to explain, impossible to master
We played it. And we got wet.🐸
River Dragons has given us hilarious moments and sudden strokes of genius . 🐸
It's the kind of game where the winner is the one who can think like the others... and then betray them at the most beautiful moment .
The art is vibrant, the materials are thoughtful, and the tension is always high: every action can build victory or lead you to an unexpected downfall.
We recommend it to those who like to play ahead of the game , but also to those who enjoy creating elegant chaos on the table.
A modern classic, still very relevant today.
