Timber Town Board Game by Alley Cat Games | 2-Player River Drafting & Tile Placement

Timber Town — a two-player river-drafted strategy from Alley Cat Games

Step into a riverside town-building challenge where clever beaver architects draft tiles as they flow downstream. Timber Town blends approachable rules with deep tactical decisions, offering an engaging head-to-head experience in about 30 minutes. The charming beaver theme, tactile tiles, and evolving objectives create a satisfying puzzle that rewards careful planning and timely action.

From the very first turn, you’ll feel the tension between snapping up a promising tile now and waiting for a potentially stronger option later. The river drafting mechanic keeps the board dynamic, inviting you to constantly reassess your options as tiles drift toward your opponent. Once you draft a tile, you must place it into the same column you took it from, turning every placement into a spatial puzzle that tests foresight and precision.

River Drafting and Tile Placement

The shared river board creates an evolving landscape. You’ll sense the current of momentum as tiles move and options shift, making timing a key skill. The mandatory alignment to the original column adds a strategic constraint that rewards planning ahead and careful placement, layer by layer as your town grows.
