In this Western strategy game, you choose terrain types, think through their placement, and gradually develop your territory to bring you the highest profit possible. Connecting tiles into “domino” boards creates a clear yet clever spatial puzzle, where every decision affects your next development options.
Special characters also enter the game, strengthening your tactics, along with events that can disrupt your plans—such as droughts or cattle rustling. As a result, you must not only plan ahead but also react flexibly to how the game unfolds and anticipate your opponents’ moves.
Moon River is great for family play as well as for players who enjoy thoughtful board games. The components are made of cardboard, and the illustrations capture varied landscapes and motifs typical of a Western atmosphere.
