Deep River – Lure the Bear to Your Rival 🐻🌊

A compact duel of logic and anticipation. Deep River by Jonathan Favre-Godal and Corentin Lebrat, illustrated by Sander Legrand and published by Laboludic, is a tactical game for 2 players aged 10 and up, in about 20 minutes.

One player guides the salmon, the other the eels. On your turn, choose one of the 3 current tokens and move one of your fish along the river by the number it shows, then apply the effect of the river tile where your fish lands. Each time one of your fish reaches the other side of the river, the bear moves one space forward. As soon as the bear arrives in a nest, the game ends – so place your fish patiently on the tiles that push the bear towards your opponent's territory. Only a set number of turns is available, which keeps the tension high, and a careless move can end in a hungry stomach.
