Lead the Netherlands into the Industrial Age in the latest version of the cooperative classic! It is the dawn of the Industrial Age in the Netherlands. For centuries, the country has relied upon a series of dikes and wind-powered pumps to keep it safe from the constant threat of flooding from the North Sea. But this system is no longer enough.

Rising Tide is another installment in the series of the world championships editions: each year Asmodee releases a version tied to the location of the last WC, designed by Matt Leacock together with an author from that country. This one has a very interesting new mechanic: floods originate in the sea, and spread to neighboring locations in a way that is at the same time Pandemic-like and very novel. There are also many ways to customize the difficulty of the each single game, both with the number of Rising Tide cards, and with custom objective cards. Rising Tide is definitely the most gamer’s version of Pandemic, and one of the best!

When are these games going to get bad??? Unbelievable! The puzzle here is just lovely - might be the toughest to optimize in a Pandemic game yet. And included variants? Be still my beating heart.

Good alternative to Pandemic. Water flowing is a hilarious theme with good mechanical integration. I don't want to own it, but I'll play it any day. I just really like being a civil engineer trying to save a country from flooding, and failing because my opponent is the ocean. The connection between theme and mechanics is honestly one of the best I've ever seen in a game. The art is beautiful. All failures feel like "my fault," and while there are some luck issues, this game does a good job of making you feel responsible for this tiny little country.
