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.
