About the game

What is Rivages?

In Rivages, players explore the legendary islands of Myr, searching for remains of its long-forgotten wisdom. Each player starts with their own map of an island that's divided into several colored areas. Every turn, they strike out the available symbols from one of the two cards in their hand, check matching fields on their map, then pass the cards along to their neighbor. By exploring certain areas, achieving goals on the island, looting treasures, and progressing on their own wisdom tree, they gather valuable parchments. Reaching a boat allows them to move to a new island full of new opportunities. Whoever has the most parchments at the end of the game wins. —description from the publisher
