From BoardGameGeek
float downstream is a game like no other. Embark on a meditative journey. 36 unique river cards create a poetic landscape through which you slowly drift. With a mixture of luck and strategy, attempt to negotiate the currents of life's river, all the while maintaining a balanced mind against the thought forms that arise, threatening to pull you under. Death is inevitable, but how much of life's poetry can you experience on your journey to the river's end? No matter what you do you will always die. Scores are calculated based on the number and type of thought counters one has in mind upon dying. The higher the score, the closer to enlightenment. This score gives one a 'ranking' within the game.
