Tea, Poetry and Total Disaster! Cozy up with Riverbank RPG, where elegant animals embark on whimsical adventures, celebrating friendship and folly while surviving dire visits from relatives.

You'll join an intelligent society of anthropomorphic Animals and enter their life of cake and teatime by the slow part of the river. Here, the charm of cottagecore meets the delight of sophisticated critters as they navigate polite Animal society.

In the RiverBank RPG, your character choices drive the story. Weave farcical or dramatic tales of elegant characters celebrating friendships, navigating social niceties, and weathering the unique dynamics of Animal life. Attend tea parties, stroll through gardens, and win the prize at the village fair—all while trying to dodge difficult relatives and keeping a stiff upper lip.

The game is optimized for 3 to 5 players, using standard dice to resolve player decisions while balancing the characters' Animality and Poetry sides. Fall too far into one side or the other, and total disaster may follow!

Grab your friends and get ready for a waltz of whimsy, a hint of hilarity, and a dollop of drama!
