Great Rider Reef

 
By Gerd P. Degens

 

The game requires a 11 x 13 board. There are only 'riders' (-night, -cardinal, -night, -amazon, -zebracamel) in the game. There is a barrier on rank 7 that must be overcome. This is how the name 'Great Rider Reef' came about - in reference to 'Great Barrier Reef'.
