Description

Back in the late 1700’s. Two North-American fur trading corporations compete to expand their routes: the Hudson’s Bay Company, based in London, and the North West Company of Montreal.

In this fast-paced card-management, action selection game, you shall mount expeditions to establish trading posts and earn money by trading pelts.

Will you push further west up to the far-distant Columbia River and the shores of the Pacific Ocean?
