Mississippi Queen (board game)

Mississippi Queen is a board game for three to five players designed by Werner Hodel and dated to 1997 by the Board Game Matcher listing. Each player steers a paddleboat down the Mississippi River, racing the other boats while picking up passengers along the way. The page describes it as a light, fun family game, and it lists a session at about forty-five minutes. Because the boats are moved through a winding river course, the race depends on managing speed and position against opponents sharing the same channel, and the passengers collected on the way give the contest a goal beyond simply arriving first. It belongs with the family-weight race games, where a short rules explanation is enough to start playing.
