Kind Kayaker River Games

I want to make tabletop games for people passionate about paddling on water.

I've created this page with the intention of designing and promoting tabletop board games dedicated to my passion for paddling on water. #kayak #paddling #boardgames
I want my games to fill a niche between teaching paddling and having fun, while also promoting teamwork.

This is an early test with mechanics to 'build' a river; in this picture there are 3 distinct 'chutes' the hexes available for each chute are randomly generated and the player builds the river according to their own desire and simple rules.

#Creeking is a type of 'activity' broadly; that includes navigating creeks and has significant connotations to whitewater #kayaking and #canoeing. It is also associated with camping and hiking. A sport that often places you in beautiful isolated locations, hidden worlds.

Testing out the hex layout and mechanics for building a river. The chute layouts work well, but I'd like to dress it up more along the banks with a shore after you build a chute.

My high level idea of the kayaking game I'm working on:
1. Players build a river, by exploring it. A round dedicated to creating/exploring, light on limits to players creativity.
2. A dedicated round of 'running' the river the players create in round one.

I'm finding a lot of beautiful ways to think about paddling as a board game; I paddle a lot, multiple times a week, on a large variety of craft - I can't translate all that stuff I'm passionate about to a single board game.

#boardgames I know it would be easier to work up very simple test pieces, but I can't help myself & have to put some effort into my crude #prototypes; I've made tabletop games in the past, in my past time, but mostly on paper or in my head. On rare occasion a few made it to a real table. #gamedesign

#creeking is a type of watersport where you combine whitewater #kayaking & #canoeing ( and often hiking ) with exploring creeks/rivers. This will be the first area my #boardgame ideas; I like the idea of cooperative with slight competition as well as solo-play.
