Product Description

Product Description
Niagara is set in the not particularly safe world of rushing waterfalls. In the late 18th Century, the Shawnee and Iroquois Indians pointed white Desperadoes, Mercenaries and Adventurers in the direction of hidden caches of valuable jewels, in the hopes of turning them against one another and away from their territorial expansion ambitions. Players play as some of those Adventurers.

4.0 out of 5 stars A unique and fun game, August 9, 2007

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

The game is more difficult to win that it first seems when you read the instructions. Your goal is to collect various combinations of gems by moving your canoe up and down the river without going over the falls. However, the speed of the river can destroy your strategy of getting your gems safely to shore.

I enjoy this game. I don't think it's as "predictable" as the other reviewer says.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my game, June 25, 2007

By	Laia (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

The game is engineered nicely, with wooden boats and plastic gems, using the box as board. However, I did not enjoy the game as much as I had expected. It was too predictable, even with the storm option. Further,a player who played it before has a huge advantage over first-timers.
