Overview

Rio Grande is a card game whereby players use their cards to create rivers and score points through building bridges. The cards include straight sections, meanders, lakes, sandbanks and river estuaries. River cards are continued by virtue of the water colour (blue, green or brown) and/or the landscape they flow through (forest, rock, grassland or desert).
