Instructions and Scripting
  • Press "Start Round" button for initial setup, and between rounds.
  • Phase tiles, Riverboat tiles, and Opportunity cards all have descriptions in their names.
  • Press "Reveal Cultivation Card" button in phase 1 to reveal a card and broadcast it.
  • Press the "Ready" button on your screen after placing your worker during phase 1. After all players press it, the next card will be revealed automatically.
  • Use the "Refill Crop Tiles" button to refill the crop tiles when you cannot place a tile in phase 2.
  • Workers will flatten when placed on player mat, making tile placement easier.
  • DO NOT need to remove workers when placing tiles, workers will move to top.
  • There is a snap point for every tile size/angle on the player mat.
  • If having issues placing a tile, you can make the tile smaller, or toggle off snap for the tile.
  • Press the "Lock All Crop Tiles" button after phase 2.
  • If playing with less than 4 players, use the starting coins/surveyors from unused colors if you run out.
  • Score tokens have states(+50/+100/+150) for when you pass the 0 on the track.

Description from BGG
"Riverboat posits each player as the owner of a 19th century farm on the bank of the Mississippi River. You need to organize your workers to ensure that the fields are ordered according to their type and harvested when ready so that the goods can be shipped to New Orleans.

In more detail, the game lasts four rounds, and at the start of each round players draft phase cards until they're all distributed. The phases then take place in numerical order, with the player who chose a phase being the first one to act. In the first phase, players place their workers in the fields, with each player having the same distribution of colored field tiles, but a different random placement for each player. In phase two, players organize their crops, trying to group like types together, with some fields requiring two or three workers. In phase three, players harvest crops and load riverboats, with a dock needing to be filled with all the goods of a single type before it can be loaded. In phase four, the boats are launched and players can take special actions, with additional victory points possibly coming in phase five."-Description from BGG[boardgamegeek.com]

I fixed it. I actually found the missing boats in my box. It looks like I had them loose in the box, instead of in the bag with all the other boats. Not sure how I missed such an important detail, but at least it's fixed now. :)

Hi, there are picture of the sprues in BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/5076395/riverboat

That is odd, I have the lookout spiele version (in german), and I have 5 tiles. Bgg to rescue.

Hi, so I never noticed in the rulebook, but it seems you are right. The thing is, I actually only have 4 or each riverboat in my physical game. It was like that for other copies I've played as well, 1 for each round. I'll have to check the BGG forums, but it seems like the rulebook was misprinted.

I check the 1 tile not refreshing, and it seemed to be working fine. Are you sure any were left? If it bugs out, at least you can move it manually over easy enough. Sorry about the issues, hopefully didn't ruin the game.

Also, boat 1 does not replenish by itself when the button is clicked.

Hi. Thanks for the mod. About the riverboats, there are 4 of each, but in the rulebook it is written that there are 5 of each.
