CAtching SAlmon at the waterfall!
We take on the role of bears and go catching salmon at the waterfall. The board is set up to form a river plus waterfall, each lane is filled with six water tiles. Ten more tiles are stacked and topped with the rock; the rest is water stock. Salmons are in the river below the waterfall and, at the start, on water tiles nearest to the edge of the waterfall.
At the start of a round, the starting player rolls, for all players, the waterfall events for all lanes: 1) Water flows -> a tile is added to the lane, tiles at the edge fall off, bears and salmon on them fall down, too. 2) Salmon jump up and are put on water tiles in the lane, starting at the edge, only one salmon per tile and not on water tiles with a bear.
Then the bears move, in turn, starting with the starting player - any distance on orthogonally adjacent tiles; not on occupied tiles and without jumping over bears. Rocks between lanes block changing lanes at that point. If you encounter a salmon, you pick it up; when a bear returns to the Bear Rock, he secures his salmons. A bear that slides down the waterfall on a tile, loses unsecured salmon and starts again at Bear Rock. If your stock of water tile is depleted and you need to start taking water tiles from the stack under the rock tile, you win at the end of the round with most salmon; when all salmon has been collected, you win instantly with most salmon.
Simply pretty, simply simple, simply good - the components are very functional and very attractive, the mechanism is simple, the quantum tactic in movement and securing peps up the dice rolls! A game equally wells suited for children and for families.
