Niagara
Paddle canoes along a treacherous river to collect and secure jewels before opponents do. Players move their boats, draw gems from riverside caches, and try to be the first to claim a set number of jewels to win. River flow changes dynamically based on player actions and weather effects, altering movement and pushing canoes toward the falls. Canoes that go over the edge are costly to replace, and rival bandits can steal jewels from vulnerable boats, so route choice and timing matter as much as collection strategy.
