Board Game Expansion Lucky Duck Games Kaskadia: Rivers — expansion for Kaskadia base game

Kaskadia: Rivers expansion by Lucky Duck Games adds river-themed tiles and placement mechanics to the Kaskadia base game. Designed to be used only with the original Kaskadia set, this module introduces flowing water elements that influence how tiles connect and how landscapes are completed. The expansion increases the variety of tile arrangements and scoring opportunities without changing the core rules of the base game.

Advantages

The expansion provides new river tiles that interact with existing terrain and scoring patterns, expanding strategic depth for players who already own Kaskadia. It preserves the original game's simplicity while offering additional decision points during tile drafting and placement. Components are compatible with the base set and integrate seamlessly into typical Kaskadia game sessions.
