ROWWARD is a family strategy board game for 1 to 4 players, ages 10 and up. You travel a river from its spring to the sea, and every roll is a decision about how to live. Rush ahead, or slow down and keep something that lasts. A standard game runs 45 to 60 minutes.

Included
Fifteen river minutes, from the spring to the Horizon Gate.
A family strategy game where you live a whole life in fifteen river minutes, and the player who arrives first is rarely the one who lived best.
The idea
Every roll is a life decision.
You start at the spring of a river with a whole life ahead of you. Each turn you roll the dice and choose what the roll is for.
Rush, and the years fly past. You reach the end ahead of everyone. Slow down, and you arrive later, carrying what you chose to keep along the way.
At the end of the river stands a gate. It does not care who got there first. What it asks for, you find out at the table.
The door does not open for speed

What it asks of you
Three decisions, one life.
Choose your pace
Take the lead, or slow down on purpose. Both are right. Only one of them wins this game.
Life keeps moving
The river runs whether you are ready or not. What you decided earlier comes back to meet you.
Arrive with something
The player who gets there first is rarely the one who lived best.
