Game Preview: River Dragons, and a Summary of How to Play
Board Game: River Dragons
In late 2012, French publisher Matagot released Roberto Fraga's River Dragons, a new version of his Dragon Delta, which was originally published in 2000 by Eurogames. A lot has changed in the game world since this title first appeared in print, so what would cause a publisher to bring it back?

To explain, I present an overview of the game and break down gameplay, making many funny faces along the way. Enjoy!
