Lewis & Clark Expedition Game: *Rules, devised & written by Sophie

The Lewis and Clark expedition board game that takes you through the journey that two men accomplished with the help of a French fur trader, Toussaint  Charbonneau, and his Native American Shoshone wife, Sacagawea, and about 30 other men making up the Corps of Discovery. Here are the rules of the game.

Objective

Five player’s total; you can chose to play as Lewis, Clark, Sacagawea, Charbonneau, or Patrick Gas. Play all around the board,  to Oregon and back trying to be the first player to make it back to St. Louis by 1806.

When it’s your turn, you roll the die, let’s say you get four, you move your player four spaces ahead and pick up a fact card. Read your fact card aloud and place it in your own pile. The next player goes and let’s say he got a two, he moves two spaces ahead picks up a fact card.

 The next player might roll a five, which means he will land on an X mark. Randomly placed on the board there are about 25 X marks where something along the expedition happened that you might want to know about.

If you land on an X mark, you choose a date card. On that date card there is an important date of the expedition and an action. On each date card there will be a date, a fact and an action that the player who picks up the date card has to do. If it says roll again, the player will have to roll again, if it says move back two spaces the player moves back two spaces. However if they roll again and land on another X mark, they lose a turn.

The game goes on until one player reaches the finish and wins.

 But the fun doesn’t end there. The person that reaches the finish line first gets a bonus. The other players review their date and fact cards while the winner receives question cards. After the other players are reviewed with the facts the winner quizzes them to make a second winner or a history winner.

Rules:

1.       2-5 players total

2.       Youngest goes first. Roll die to start turn

3.       Pick up a fact card if you land on a blank space

4.       Do not pick up fact card if you land on an X mark

 

5.       If you land on an X mark pick up a date card

 

6.       Player who lands back in St. Louis first wins: Adventure winner!
