River Dragons is a family strategy board game set in the Mekong Delta, where players race to cross the river by building temporary bridges from stones and planks.

Each turn, players secretly plan their actions, then reveal them in order to place stones, lay planks, move across the river, or interfere with their rivals. The challenge is that everyone is trying to predict the same narrow crossings, so a carefully planned route can quickly fall apart when another player moves a plank, blocks a path, or sends you splashing into the water.

With simultaneous action planning, route building and plenty of direct player interaction, River Dragons is a lively family game for players who enjoy tactical movement, bluffing, blocking and chaotic table moments. The 2025 edition features a new cover, new box, updated format and refreshed materials.
