Description:
In the wild rapids of the Niagara River, fearless canoers battle the water and each other to collect gems along the riverbank. Of course, the most valuable gems are found furthest down-river, close to the waterfall. Yes, there is a waterfall, and careless canoers can fall over the waterfall. Also, players must return collected gems to land in order to be counted. At the end, the player who collects the most value in gems is the winner.
Players play on a 3D board, representing the Niagara River and the falls. Canoes float down the river as the river flows, but players can row their canoes up-river or down-river to collect gems, to return them to shore, and to avoid the waterfall. This game is great fun for the family, but is strategic and gives players the chance to plan and steal from one another. Niagara is a rapid family strategy game, fluid in game play and exciting for young and old.

 Nancy Sucks
I have not played this game, but I saw Nancy's review that gave it 1 start after calling the game "awesome". She goes on to whine that there is not an "online" version, but this site is called "BOARD" game ratings...
Ok, I am good now...

 fun game
I played it at Game night a year ago with 6 people and had a lot of fun. Very pretty board and set up. The river moves and there are jewels to collect and carry in your canoe. Steals are also possible. Its creative and has a few strategies to win, but simple enough to learn.

Easy to learn and fun
Excellent game! We introduce this game to all our friends, and everyone loves it! Quick to learn, and fun to play over and over. Would be a good family game, we look forward to playing it with our kids when they are out of diapers. :) WE LOVE IT!

Waste of time and money
This game is really bad. We had high hopes and the board looked fun, but it takes three people to hold down the board just so the pieses could 'flow' down the river. It's also really difficult to play. We're all adults and after an hour or more we just gave up.

 Good solid family game
My whole family can play this, even my game challenged 5 year old. We all have lots of fun and it doesn't seems that tragic to my kids when someone other than them wins. Also the board pieces are very colorfull and nicely made.
