The pathway cards must match precisely, and the first player to use up all of their cards wins. The game includes instructions for two alternative play options. Making the Right Connections Rivers, Roads & Rails helps children practice associative skills for each of the three different transportation modes highlighted in the game - rivers and boats, cars and roads, and trains and tracks - and build an intricate network for each one. Because cards are drawn turn by turn and can be connected in many different ways, every game is different, and the alternative game options give players even more variety. Over time, children will develop strategic gaming techniques for building their networks while enhancing such skills as memory, creativity, imagination, sequencing, turn-taking and patience.
