It’s spring, 1927. While some Americans dance the Charleston and drink bootlegged liquor, the Mississippi Delta faces a flood of epic proportions. Can you manage the rising waters to stay alive? This version of the game is formatted to be printed by the downloader and pieces cut out for gameplay.
Description
Rising Waters is a cooperative game of survival, resilience, and community. Set in the Mississippi Delta during the devastating 1927 flood, players take on the roles of African American families striving to survive both nature’s fury and the injustice of the Jim Crow South. Working together through music, education, faith, and shared resources, they must strengthen levees, resist oppression, and endure the rising waters.
With its deep historical theming and engaging area control, set collection, and variable player power mechanics, Rising Waters is ideal for both educational use and casual play.
