In The River,
you and the other mayoral players each struggle to create the best
pioneer settlement by developing land along a river bed in your town,
collecting resources from the area, and constructing buildings. As you
explore and build up the untouched frontier, your workers will settle
down along the way, meaning that your other workers will shoulder more
of the burden to do what you want to do, which includes making nicely
organized landscapes to please the aestheticians in town.
Every decision counts in this fast and streamlined tile-placement
game, and in the end the player with the most impressive settlement will
win!
