About the game
What you do in a play session
In Iquazú, you’re part of the Inox tribe, racing to protect precious gemstones from the villainous Rhujas. The hiding spot? Behind the world’s most dangerous waterfall, naturally! With help from the water dragon Silon, you and your friends will rappel down ropes to place gems into crevices—but watch out for water snakes and the rushing current! The game blends strategy and luck: you’ll manage cards to position gems on colored columns, with each column requiring more cards to access. The further right you go, the riskier (and more rewarding). Each round, the waterfall 'slides,' making columns disappear and revealing new bonuses. Players who plan their moves wisely and dominate key areas on the modular board will come out on top. Pro tip: keep an eye on horizontal rows—controlling these can earn powerful tokens!
