River Bend — River Code
Last updated: June 2025
Rivers have always carried an unspoken code — give way, read the water, leave nothing behind. River Bend's code is the same idea, written plainly. By launching onto the river, you agree to paddle by it.
The river
River Bend is a free, browser-based memory card game. Match river creature and nature pairs, build your flow score, and ride the current to the sea. No payment. No account.
All paddlers welcome
Players of every age are welcome on the water. River Bend is non-violent, gambling-free, and appropriate for all audiences.
Flow score
Points accumulate per matched pair, with a drift multiplier for consecutive successes. Flow scores are session-only and carry no monetary value.
No wagering on the current
River Bend contains no virtual currency, no loot mechanics, no betting systems, and no randomised prizes of any kind.
Creative ownership
All game assets belong to their creators. Personal play is freely permitted. Commercial reproduction requires prior written consent.
Prohibited conduct
Automated bots, exploit tools, and deliberate disruption of other paddlers' sessions are strictly prohibited.
No calm-water guarantee
River Bend is provided as-is. We hold no liability for indirect losses from gameplay or service interruption.
Code updates
These terms may change. The date above marks the current version. Continued play is acceptance.
