River of Gold Review: The Shiniest Euro You Ever Did See

In this board game review we look at River of Gold by Office Dog.
From the Spine of the World Mountains to the bustling fishing villages of Earthquake Fish Bay flows a river where fortunes can be made and lowly traders can brush shoulders with Rokugan's elite. Will your clan become the dominant force along this River of Gold?
In River of Gold, players take on the role of river merchants allied with legendary samurai clans, each vying to exploit the river to earn wealth, glory, and wisdom. Will you invest in developing ports, markets, shrines, and more along the banks of the busy river? Or will you rely upon sailing the river of gold, growing your wealth and influence through delivery contracts, visiting the nobility, and garnering a bit of divine favor during tough times?
River of Gold features a stunning embossed metallic gold game board illustrated by master fantasy cartographer Francesca Baerald. In addition to looking beautiful, the gameplay is fast and clever, with minimal downtime and a playtime of just one hour. Fans of Eurogames will enjoy this mid-weight game, and with easy-to-learn, intuitive rules, you’ll be able to get River of Gold to your table quickly.

This is an Instant Buy for me. I really love the Legend of the Five Rings LLC and it's art style. While yeah, the L5R theme means nothing for the gameplay, but using this art style makes a very pretty game!
Quick player turns with and the die sets one up for the following turn both giving options and limitations is a nice touch. Easy to understand icons and a proper length. Just have to wait two weeks before I can order my copy!

Nice one mate! It is an excellent game! The flow of it is so nice, it's easy enough to understand, it plays great and it looks striking. If you like the legend of the five rings then that's a bonus! Definitely recommend this one

Same for me tuntemon. I love the L5R theme. I never had the chance to play FFG's L5R itself but almost bought myself someone's collection... I decided against it and sort of regretted it ever since XD
