River of Gold

River of Gold is a competitive strategy board game that has you build a merchant empire along Rokugan’s most lucrative waterways.

You represent an illustrious clan, investing in trade ports, markets, and shrines while spreading influence through manor houses. On your turn, you roll dice to choose how you’ll grow—expanding your presence, sailing for valuable cargo, or completing contracts for profit. When the roll doesn’t match your plan, you can call on divine favor to bend the outcome and seize a better line. Fast turns keep the table moving, but long-term positioning and timing decide who controls the richest stretches of the river. It includes the Patrons mini-expansion for extra clan-flavored powers and new paths to victory. Available now at Boarding School Games—claim the river’s riches.
