Watch “River Market | Cozy, Competitive, and Completely Charming! | Kickstarter Board Game Preview,” a board game review for River Market on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by kovray on YouTube:

Welcome to Kovray! We're a couple who adores board games and seeks to share our joy and passion with you. Today, we'll be sharing River Market, the newest game in the Creature Comforts series! River Market is a Creature Comforts game designed by Roberta Taylor, it's illustrated by Daisy Ingrosso, and published by KTBG, who shared a prototype of this game with us! Learn More: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kidstablebg/river-market-a-creature-comforts-game?ref=a59bgh In River Market, you’ll take the role of a friendly critter making their way along the river, participating in the lively market! You'll play cards to move to a booth and activate it or play cards by paying their costs to put up your own booths, hire employees, and attend events. The game will end when one player runs out of houses, at which point everyone including the active player will receive an additional two turns. Your goal is to score the most points, which you’ll do by building new booths, hiring employees, attending events, and having leftover resources (especially coins.) Question of the Day: If you attended the River Market, what would you use to carry all the goods?

About River Market, from BoardGameGeek:

It's summertime in Maple Valley, and the river market is open for business! The narrow streets and waterways are bustling with vendors hawking their wares and with customers in search of a good bargain. The market is growing, with new businesses opening all the time. Pick your path carefully, hire the right help, and set up a shop (or two) of your own in this quick, lively game for the whole family! River Market is the new standalone game set in the cozy world of Creature Comforts. As forest critters, players take turns moving around the river market, activating the buildings they visit, hiring helpful new employees, and adding their own new businesses. Gameplay is quick, and before you know it, the market will be closed for another day. Will you make the biggest contribution to growing the river market? You'll have to play to find out! -description from the publisher
