Product Description

Product Description
Can the hiker cross the river without getting close and personal with gators, snakes and piranha? Move the planks among the tree stumps to help our hero across! This award winning, innovative new brainteaser is as challenging as they come, and the jungle adventure theme makes it compelling to play. 40 Beginner to expert challenge cards show where to place stumps and planks to start each game, and a magnet in our Hiker's feet make moving the planks a snap. Getting all the way across....well that's not going to be easy! The Hiker moves by walking along the plank to get to the next stump. He can't get from stump to stump by jumping - he must move planks to bridge the gaps between the stumps. He can pick up and move one plank at a time, but he can only reach the plank or planks touching the stump where he is standing. Plus the planks must fit snugly between the stumps, so the hiker can only move a plank to a space that fits. He can also pick up a plank as far as he's able to go before putting in down again. Danger lies in stranding your hiker on a stump midstream - with no place to the next plank or no plank within reach! River crossing is another addictive puzzle that will keep you challenging again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great little game., 1 Mar 2007
By BryBo "brysie" (Hemel Hempstead) - See all my reviews
This is a great little game for one player to solve a problem of getting a man (the hiker) across the river using the plastic planks. It contains 40 cards, of which, 1 is the easiest and then goes up to 40, which is the hardest. The idea is to move the hiker using one plank at a time between the tree stumps but without being stuck or crossing each other or jumping between logs. The planks and man are magnetised to make it easy to move across the river. This is ideal for any one over 8 years old to play and is challenging after the first easy part (1 to 10). There are cards that you change with each challenge and the shaded areas show where the planks go and you put the tree stumps between them.
(After completing all 40 cards you can go back to the first card and time yourself or to play with friends taking turns-but this is only my suggestion rather than throw the game away.)

Excellent little game for any travelling or just at home when nothing is on TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenging for all ages!, 9 Jan 2008
By Pod4 (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This game filled quite a few hours over Christmas for our whole family from our 6yr old daughter to Nanny & Grandad. We enjoyed seeing who could get to the highest level, and then timing who was the fastest...great fun, and its unusual to have something simple that all generations really enjoy, and can play at different levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars River Crossing, 27 Nov 2008

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
We've had this game now for a few years. My kids started playing with it around the age of 7. All the family have enjoyed the challenge of trying to cross the river using just the few planks allocated to that particular game card. I find this game especially good for holidays as it comes with a handy travel pouch. My kids don't play with it much at home anymore but it still comes out when we go away.I've bought the game for several friends, and would recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars River Crossing Review
Fab toy that is great for children (encourages logical thinking and problem solving) and equally fun for adults - my 6 year old, 9 year old and me (much older!) are all hooked!
