Canopy Walk

Overview

What ABG knows about this game

It is the year 1922. Recent rumors state that a very rare source of red diamonds has been discovered somewhere deep inside the Yungas tropical rainforest in Valle Grande, Jujuy, Argentina. Based on these rumors, the two largest diamond jeweler corporations in the world each send an explorer team on site. Soon the teams realize that the jungle crawls with creatures such as crocodiles, snakes, pumas and jaguars — but the worst of all are the piranhas that infest the swampy jungle rivers. By now the teams cannot go back, so the only means of safely venturing further into the jungle is by building canopy walks to claim square by square of Valle Grande! Canopy Walk is a strategic tile-laying game in which two explorers compete by building the most efficient canopy walk over the valley by making the best use of the four types of regular tiles. Each type displays different canopy walks, or a canopy walk plus a connecting platform, or a canopy walk plus a dead end tree, or a dead end tree plus a connecting platform. Points are scored per square on a canopy walk (CW) by a player's color.
