Niagara is a board game that is easy to play, and really fast to start, but can be lots of fun. The board is assembled on top of the box of the game, and it is shaped as a river, with, surprise, surprise, a waterfall at one end.
Each player has a couple of canoes and the aim of the game is to row up and down the river collecting a number of gems from various locations (or steal them from other players canoes). Players move their boats by playing some cards with movement scores on them.
The quirk of the game is that, once all the players have done their moves, the natural flow of the river occurs by shifting the different places along the river a number of positions downriver, taking the canoes with them. Of course, if a canoe is pushed beyond the edge of the waterfall... well, the player will have to pay one of his/her hard earned gems get a new one.
Have fun!!

Well, this game looks tempting and exciting... perhaps we will have the opportunity to play it when we come to Paris ?
