Niagara
Niagara is set in the not particularly safe world of rushing waterfalls. In the late 18th Century, the Shawnee and Iroquois Indians pointed white Desperadoes, Mercenaries and Adventurers in the direction of hidden caches of valuable jewels, in the hopes of turning them against one another and away from their territorial expansion ambitions. Players play as some of those Adventurers.
What is Niagara
Niagara is set in the not particularly safe world of rushing waterfalls. In the late 18th Century, the Shawnee and Iroquois Indians pointed white Desperadoes, Mercenaries and Adventurers in the direction of hidden caches of valuable jewels, in the hopes of turning them against one another and away from their territorial expansion ambitions. Players play as some of those Adventurers.
The first player to be able to claim ownership of five jewels is the winner. But the chase after the riches has some snags. The speed of the river is always changing, since the speed depends on the decisions of the players and the changeable weather. And once a canoe goes over the falls, it's a hefty investment to replace it. And there are also the Desperadoes to contend with, who aren't above trying to plunder the riches from Adventurers returning home. Niagara is distinguished by an innovative movement mechanic as well as a beautiful three-dimensional rendering of the waterfall setting.

de 3 a 5, tablero mucho atrezzo, muy vistoso parece facil pero no lo es tanto... En mi primera y unica partida me ha gusatdo mucho pero estao cogiendo alhúas
Deeper game than it seems. It looks as a kid's game, but there is quite a lot of strategy. Components are really nice and the setting is really original. Unfortunately, it seems to get into infinite loops (the more I move my ship, the more the river moves, so the ship remains in the same place...)

a good eurogame, bit old but still playable.
PNP- Version, got my biggest game and probably only 3d board, worked out of unicell and wood.
Great game for the whole family. Can be played thinky with the gamers or relaxed with the casuals. Does also appeal to kids, because of the shiny crystals :) I'm recommending this to everyone, because this just is a great game to get everyone together (even gamers and non-gamers).
Juego de mesa en 3D xD. Muy divertido y original, sencillo, no aporta reto al jugón, pero triunfazo para juego en familia, muy recomendable!
