First Descent! The Game of Expedition Kayaking
NO ONE HAS EVER KAYAKED THE MIGHTY MEEP RIVER... UNTIL NOW.
Days and countless miles from civilization... from around the next bend you hear it: The thunder of white water, echoing through the trees. Will you scout it out from shore? Send a brave soul ahead to test the waves? Or plunge ahead, heedless of danger? Think carefully and decide as a team, for you have many more rapids to navigate with limited time and resources before you can successfully claim a completed FIRST DESCENT.
Choose a team from eight elite paddlers with distinct skills.
Pick from four different kayak models, from a zippy Racer to an agile Creeker.
Load the gear you need— but not too much! Every pound slows you down.
Take turns being the Scout, responsible for choosing the team’s approach to the next challenge.
Every move burns precious daylight. How far can you get before time runs out?
Paddlers have limited endurance for the trials of big water. Keep your strength up!
A different river every game! Water level rises and falls and the rapids come unpredictably.
Every Rapid poses risks and promises GLORY for every paddler who makes it through.
Work together to score the most GLORY and complete a successful First Descent!
Fast, fun play for one to four people with the same simple rules.
