About the Game

Arlo, the young Apatosaur, and Spot, the lively human child, have been swept away by the big river. Can you guide them on their journey back home? Help Arlo and Spot on their adventures up the river. The player who receives the most river cards along the way will be the winner.

Each round, the Arlo & Spot standee is moved to the next river tile segment, which is flipped over. The picture on the tile indicates what challenge Arlo & Spot must overcome this turn; all players get a chance to participate in the challenges, which could involve throwing their character's 'stone' at a bad guy standee trying to knock it over, trying to throw their stones closest to a good guy, trying to get across the rapids first by rolling the two custom color dice and moving the characters matching the rolled colours one step further, etc. Whoever wins each challenge gets to keep that round's river tile.

When Arlo & Spot reach the end segment of the river, whoever has won the most river tiles is the winner!
