Arclight, with Japanese rules Based on the world of the game Catan, this offers a double dose of fun as the world of Catan expands to the settlement of America. You'll drive covered wagons across the vast American continent, lay down railroads, and transport goods from the East to the West. As the 19th century dawned, America was expanding westward. People began to develop the vast prairies in order to obtain land to grow crops and grasslands for their hungry livestock. Covered wagons carrying pioneers seeking new lives and opportunities headed west. As people moved further west, new cities sprang up like mushrooms. Because of the distance between these cities, they came to rely on trains to transport essential goods. Roads became railways, generating great wealth, and soon a complex network of tracks developed, connecting the developing cities. Experience the pioneering era of the American West! Send your pioneers westward in covered wagons to build cities and develop a railway network. If you are the first to deliver 8 goods to other players' cities (10 goods if playing with 3 players), you will be the winner and fulfill the "Manifest Destiny" of becoming a pioneer of the era.
