Each player starts with a set of attractions – from roller‑coaster cars to fireworks shows – and the goal is to trade, negotiate, and combine them to build the biggest entertainment complex. The board is made of stackable tiles, allowing construction on multiple levels, while enclosed areas grant income bonuses. Each round you collect earnings, invest in upgrades, and may even spend victory points as a resource to speed up projects. Negotiation is the core of the game: you barter with opponents, swap attractions, and can even sell building rights. The game runs about 45 minutes, supports 3‑5 players, and is ideal for fans of negotiation games with a dash of tile‑placement. Though the rules are straightforward, the mix of set collection, investment, and income management creates meaningful strategic choices without overwhelming the group. In short, Waterfall Park offers a light yet trade‑heavy experience, perfect for relaxed game nights. ## FAQ ### How many players can join? It supports 3 to 5 players. ### How long does a game last?
