Meadow Expands Downstream With Kayak Exploration

September 5, 2022 by fcostin

Last year, Rebel Studio introduced board gamers to the delightful Meadow. Sending nature observers off into a diverse set of stunning flora and fauna across the land, there were hopes of spotting and collecting a wide selection of animals, creatures and flora to then share in findings and discoveries over a calming campfire chatter.

Expanding on from the core game, Rebel Studio is gearing up to release its first expansion. This is encouraging players to get their feet wet and get comfortable in a Kayak with Meadow: Downstream.

Drifting into a new setting with new environments to discover, players will be heading into the homes and habitats of aquatic creatures. Adding eighty new cards to the deck and a new board that will see players sailing through wildlife-packed areas, this board will be double-sided and will provide players with a calm route to experience and a fast stream to witness. The cards are added in a separate river deck and also added to the N, E, W, and S deck from the base game.

Kingfisher Artwork Preview // Meadow: Downstream

Yes, that is an otter on the front cover. I wonder what other animals and wildlife we can expect as we start dipping our heads underwater with the fish. With teasers being released earlier this year and looking at the wonderful artwork of Karolina Kijak, showcasing a vibrant Kingfisher and the opportunity to travel via rustic kayak, it seems like you should get your net out and wellies on. We're sure to see a few frogs!

Rebel Games have also confirmed that the Downstream expansion has also been optimised for solo play so if you are looking to head out on the kayak to adventure and discovery on your lonesome.

The expansion is set to be released before the close of the year, confirmed back in February for a release at Essen SPIEL this year! This will be adding more nature to the mix of Meadow and a wide bank of creatures to collect in their naturally wet habitat.
