River Valley Glass Works

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In River Valley Glassworks, you either place a token from your hand onto one of 6 river tiles and collect tokens from one of the two adjacent river tiles, or you take tokens from the lake to replenish your supply. Tokens collected are slotted into your player board according to colour or scarcity. Points are scored based on completed rows and scored for your two tallest columns, with ties broken in favor of the lowest or furthest left columns.
