Lifted from another board I frequent:
River Game The rules are:
Click on link then click on Blue Circle. Use the rules below unless you happen to be able to read Japanese.
"Everybody has to cross the river".
The following rules apply:
*Only 2 persons on the raft at a time
*The father cannot stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence.
*The mother cannot stay with any of the sons without their father's presence.
*The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there.
*Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft.
When you see a Yellow Circle, that means one of the rules have been broken and the raft will not move.
To start click on the big blue circle on the right.
To move the people click on them. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.
