About the game
What you do in a play session
In Rivages, you're an explorer uncovering the lost secrets of the Myr islands. Each player starts with a map divided into colored areas and two cards in hand. Every round, you cross out symbols on your cards, mark matching spots on your map, and pass the cards along. Exploring areas, looting treasures, and progressing on your wisdom tree earns you valuable parchments. When you reach a boat, you can sail to a new island full of opportunities. The player with the most parchments at the end wins! The game blends light strategy with a puzzle-like feel, perfect for quick and fun sessions. With closed drafting and simultaneous action selection, Rivages keeps everyone engaged without downtime. And the best part? It plays great solo too!
