Description
We write of the year
1846. Gunslingers, lawmen, pioneers and whole families left their homes in the
east and mid-west to try their luck in the West. They loaded their covered
wagons with all they could and headed west across steppes, deserts, and mountains.
Many chose to settle in Oregon, where the farming and hunting was plentiful and
they could stake out a bit of land for themselves. The players have already
reached Oregon and gaze upon the rich farmland below and the potential gold and
coal reserves of the mountains. they build ports on the lakes and rivers,
churches, warehouses, post offices, and train stations on the plains. And, of
course, they must farm the rich land to grow the food necessary for the area to
grow and thrive. To win, a player must choose the right times to farm and the
right times to build, for planning is necessary even here in the untamed
wilderness of Oregon!
