Each round the players must place one of their tiles on the table and draw another, when the last flooded river tile is completely surrounded by other tiles or when the river's rise counter of one whole calendar turn the river will overflow. the tile with the lowest value will be flooded, destroying the buildings on it and leaving the ship afloat.

What the community says about Nilo

Nilo has surprised us with its simplicity and at the same time with its depth. There should be a category of games that encompasses all those in which you play the first game without really having any idea of what is going on and, as soon as you count the final points, a light bulb goes on and you start thinking about all the things that you should take into account in the next one (which you will almost certainly do next, unless you have urgent plans). “Revealing Games”? It sounds good, but we have our doubts about possible licenses that we are using without knowing it…
