On
November 30, 1803, the United States purchased Louisiana from Napoleon. U.S.
President Thomas Jefferson decided to send two explorers – Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark – to discover this huge terra incognita. Lewis & Clark is a
board game in which the players manage an expedition intended to cross the
North American continent. Their goal is to be the first to reach the Pacific.
Each one has his own Corps of Discovery that will be completed by the Native
Americans and the trappers met during the journey. He has to cleverly manage
his characters and also the resources he finds along the way. Beware, sometimes
frugality is better than abundance.
Lewis
& Clark features dual use cards. To be activated, one card must be combined
with another one, which becomes unavailable for a while. Thus, players are
faced with a constant dilemma: play a card or sacrifice it. During the game,
each player acquires character cards that enlarge his hand, building a crew
that gives him more options but it needs to be optimized as he will recycle his
cards more slowly. This new “hand building” mechanism fits strongly the
historical background. Since the aim of the game is to be the first on the
Pacific coast, the timing and the opportunistic use of the other players’
positions are crucial.
