River of Gold Board Game

In River of Gold, players take on the role of river merchants allied with legendary samurai clans, each vying to exploit the river to earn wealth, glory, and wisdom. Will you invest in developing ports, markets, shrines, and more along the banks of the busy river? Or will you rely upon sailing the river of gold, growing your wealth and influence through delivery contracts, visiting the nobility, and garnering a bit of divine favor during tough times?

Travel the River of Gold as a merchant representing one of the great clans of Rokugan. Players sail between busy settlements, invest in ports, markets and shrines, and build influence through manor houses while competing to become the most successful trader on the river.

Custom dice determine the opportunities available each turn, but Divine Favour can help reshape a result and open a better route. Building new locations creates benefits for future visitors, while sailing to established sites allows merchants to collect goods, deliver customer contracts and increase their wealth.

Regional scoring, mastery cards and clan patrons provide several paths towards victory. Players must balance long term investment with efficient travel, judging when to develop the river and when to use its growing trade network before rivals claim the strongest opportunities.
