About the Game

A solo, fully-resettable campaign game where you play the legendary hero Yu, building canals to tame the flooding Yellow River while defending your village across a self-balancing seven-game story. Won Best Solo Game of 2023 from the Dice Tower, BoardGameGeek’s Golden Geek Award, and the Origins Game Fair.

My Thoughts

8/10

I love this game and would happily play it many times in a row. The campaign is beautifully designed, the insert is a dream, and the tension rarely lets up.
