What is Lewis & Clark: The Expedition
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 each player manages 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 "handbuilding" mechanism fits strongly with 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.

Es un juego de carreras, realmente.. tienes que avanzar por el río hasta llegar al pacífico. Para hacerlo tiene que ir avanzando con tu explorador e ir asentando campamentos. El primero que asienta un campamento en la costa pacífica gana. Es muy sesudo por el uso que se hace de las cartas y los recursos. Cuando asientas un campamento un exceso de equipaje puede hacerte retroceder. Está muy bien. Entretenido y rompecabezas. :) Recomendable para jugones.
very unique slow race - engine build card driven game
increíble el juego, ofrece mucho mas de lo que aparenta: ese arte tierno y bonito entra por los ojos y no tiene nada que ver con lo difícil del juego. Feliz con la compra. :D 01-5-14: jugado con otro grupo de personas, si gustó pero no tanto como esperaba :(, el juego me sigue pareciendo genial pero le bajo la nota 9 hasta jugarlo con mas gente diferente
