A quick rundown of this product’s key features:
A COZY GAME OF COLLECTING GLASS – Play as an entrepreneurial woodland critter in the town of River Valley. Draft tiles from the constantly changing river in order to set up the best shop and score the most points.
UNEVEN GLASS RARITY – The glass colors aren’t evenly distributed in the bag. Use that to your advantage—plan around the different rarities, or swoop in when an uncommon color shows up.
PLAYER BOARD PUZZLE – Easy to teach, easy to play. However, once you start wrestling with the way your board scores, you’ll notice how clever things get just below the surface!
“LET’S PLAY AGAIN” FACTOR – With a 20-minute play time (and a board that can reset in 30 seconds), River Valley Glassworks practically invites you to play again and attempt to beat your high score.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM – “Really loved this one… in the running for one of my favorite Allplay games!” -Board Game Buzzz; “This, I think, is one to watch for!… Incredibly fast gameplay.” – Rahdo

Title: Lovely art and components, fairly easy to learn and teach, nice solo options
Review: I’ve really been enjoying this one so far. The theme is fun and the components and art do a great job of bringing this little world to life. Rules are pretty easy to learn from the book, or find a video online, and once you know the game it can be taught fairly easily. There is a lot of movement and fiddling with components during the game (moving tiles, refilling gems, etc.) but it’s easy to manage and fun to see what new stuff comes out. Some of the colors are a bit similar, but we haven’t really had a problem with this as long as lighting is decent. Scoring for the game is a little confusing at first, but not too complicated. I also love the variety of solo opponents you can play with, each with varying rules and complexity for more variety.I think one of my only minor complaints is that the little gauge on the side to track your gems and eventually trigger the end of the game is kind of hard to see and it’s easy to forget to update it. It’s always nice to plan ahead for the last few turns and having the end surprise you isn’t as fun. I try to get around this by having folks announce their gem total after each turn.Overall, this is a great, light little game with a fen theme and nice components. Looking forward to playing this with more folks and would happily recommend this one.

Title: Great game, easy to learn and fun
Review: Great game, easy to learn and fun. The deluxe edition is by far better than the retail, however much more $ of course. There was the issue with the bent neoprene playmat that you can find in other forums on-line, this is not an Amazon issue or really a game maker issue but a factory issue. I was able to lightly iron my flatter (not completely flat) but the small bend does not affect game play. Again a great, easy game to teach and learn for more of the beginner based gamers.
