Because there is actually a chance that the river will become incomplete, we do not allow any U-turns at all.My cousin played a game with me on my mobile phone, the old .apk version and he managed to make the river incomplete after his second river tile! Lol.Luckily, the program discarded every river tile after that placement and we could continue the game with the regular tiles. We took a screenshot of it, if interested. Don't have it on me atm.
We always play with both The River & The River II. We also use the Spring tile from GQ11. I love the road on that tile, as it helps to break up the fields some.I honestly can't imagine not playing with the river. In addition to the incredible visual aesthetic, it spreads the board out and gives you plenty of options to start the game. One thing that sometimes gets annoying is that depending on the course the river flows, it sometimes starts to move off the table. So, on a few occasions, we've had to shift all the tiles after placing the river to center it better on the table. I always dread the one lake tile coming out too early- I just like the game so much better when the right and left rivers are roughly the same size.We never allow U-turns, so have never had a problem with the placement.I really, really want to get the tiles from the "River III" to expand the river some more.
I don't quite see the relevance of posting the rules Gerry? Was there a point you were trying to make?
I'm not sure if the official rules for River 2 are any different but if there are more than one lakes being used I normally play that one of them gets thrown in with the rest of the tiles too.
The other lake included in river II ends in a city so it would encorage further building beyond the end of the river and would not be an issue.
