River Crossing is a single-player spatial reasoning puzzle originally published by ThinkFun. The player arranges wooden or plastic planks of specified lengths between tree stumps so that a hiker can cross from one side of a river to the other without stepping into the water. Its challenge cards progressively restrict the available plank placements, making it a hands-on logic game for children, families, and adult puzzle solvers.
