Mississippi Queen

Players pilot paddleboats downstream, laying river tiles as they go to build a winding course. Movement uses a red wheel to set a base speed and a limited black wheel to spend coal points for changing speed and direction, so acceleration and maneuvers must be planned. Passengers can be picked up along the way and a variant requires two passenger stops as part of winning. The first boat to reach one of the finish entry hexes (determined by a die roll when the last tile is placed) wins.
