Get ready to relive all the classic Oregon Trail memories (and all those hilarious gruesome deaths!) with this official card game version that's just as fun and unpredictable as the computer game we all loved. This multi-player game for 2-6 players ages 12 and up has you working together with your wagon party to travel from Independence, MO to the Willamette Valley while facing all the classic calamities: rattlesnakes, starvation, broken bones, dysentery (of course!), and so much more. The game includes 58 Trail Cards, 32 Calamity Cards, 26 Supply Cards, a laminated Wagon Party Roster, an erasable marker, and a die - everything you need for hours of frontier fun. What's really hilarious is that you get to write epitaphs on tombstones for players who don't make it, just like in the original game. The cooperative-but-sometimes-selfish gameplay is brilliant - there will be times when it makes more sense to let a fellow traveler succumb to a calamity rather than use precious supplies to save them! The game does a fantastic job of capturing the spirit and challenge of the original computer game while making it social and interactive. Seriously, if you have fond memories of the original Oregon Trail or want to introduce a new generation to the classic struggle of pioneer life, this card game delivers endless entertainment and laughter. It's perfect for game nights, family gatherings, or anyone who appreciates clever gameplay with a healthy dose of nostalgia. The conversations and memories you'll create around this game are absolutely priceless, and you'll find yourself wanting to play again and again despite (or because of!) all the tragic endings.
