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.

Too often in this game, I felt like much of my progress was whistling in the wind compared to the flow of water which kept on falling off. The worst part of Pandemic is having a leftover action you don't know what to do with, and I felt like this happened all the time in Rising Tide: you can't take a cube out with it, because most of the time, it will just come back anyway.

Fun version of Pandemic, but not as good as the base game. Although a very good adaption of the mechanism to another theme.

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.
