Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Now players as young as six can join in River Crossing fun. In this version players must make it across the lagoon by moving planks to form a bridge to the other side. But be careful, there are mysterious sea creatures lurking underneath.

Product Description

Introducing the junior version of the best-selling River Crossing game. Youngsters will have a ball moving from plank to plank and rearranging their woodsy walkways between stumps to safely cross the lagoon without falling in. Rescuing a cat that's stranded on a deserted island or securing a safe passageway across the water to meet up with a friend is a lot trickier than it sounds!

Hours of fun await young minds that love a challenge in this all-new lagoon adventure where sea turtles, manta rays and octopi dart and dodge underfoot. Develops critical cognitive skills for kids. Makes a great game for car trips, too. Includes deck with 40 challenging cards.

My 5 year old needed some guidance in playing this game, but he had real fun with it. I think in another year or so, this could be his favorite game. I totally recommend it for slightly older children.

My 5 year old son loves this game. I got it because he seemed bored with nothing to do even though he has tons of "traditional toys". He plays this and another ThinkFun game by himself and he is challenged and having fun at the same time.

My sons like this game, but it's not as straightforward as ThinkFun's Rush Hour. The additional complexity has meant that they don't pick it up as readily when looking for a solo activity. When they take the time to recall the rules, they do enjoy it.
