How did I create the game?
In June 1992, while watching a TV report on the life of the peasants in the Vietnamese countryside, and seeing them walking on wooden planks placed between the rice fields, the idea came to me to create a game where we should build our route with wooden bridges, to reach his beloved in the village opposite.
The first version did not use a board, you put your stones where you wanted on the table and the visual estimation of the distances was much more important. We can also find this on the "flood" stage of this new version of DRAGONS DU MEKONG, magnificently reissued by Matagot in 2012, RIVER DRAGONS.
