Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

We All Take from the River is a 1-5 player board game of environmental policy, inspired by real river ecosystems. You play as a camp on the river with great plans for the future.
Build and move your structures along the river to gather resources as you pursue your unique pair of goals. Everyone can win individually, but you might come into conflict in your shared environment. If you cannot cooperate enough to protect that environment, you will all lose.
Balance the needs of a delicate river ecosystem with your own ambitions for development. Cutting down too many trees will increase the risk of floods, and overfishing will deplete the river’s precious supply.
Each player has a role with a unique pair of objectives. Sometimes those objectives overlap and sometimes they clash. With ten roles available, every new game will have its own dynamic of player motivations, teamwork, and conflict.
Players at the top of the river have the advantage of acting first. Players at the bottom of the river have access to more resources that flow downstream — including the pollution produced by those above.
Play alone or as a pair to stockpile food and build the city without leaving any pollution behind. Develop your industry with sustainable practices to maintain a harmonious relationship with nature.
As of March 25th, this project has raised $10,100 of their $20,000 goal. This project has 28 days left to raise the $20,000 or it will not be funded. For a pledge of $49, you will get one game.
