Starting on the east coast, players are trying to settle North America. To do this, they will build a road network, one that other players may use too – for a small fee of course. On your turn you move the shared stagecoach to an unoccupied settlement, then drop off a matching pioneer. The pioneers – gold diggers, barkeeps and traders amongst others – have various special effects. Players earn points by bringing all the passengers of one of their own coaches to new destinations. It’s also helpful to place your own pioneers so that at the end of the game as many of them as possible are linked via your own routes. Players who can think strategically as well as tactically will be able to find their fortune in the new world.
