Sutter's Mill: California Gold Rush of 1849

The players control groups of workers in the Californian gold rush of 1849. Each turn workers can be sent to the gold mining locations, or to the village to use the buildings there. Alternatively they can mine gold and return to the village. Players must weigh how much to spend on actions (the more actions the higher the cost per action) and when the gold will run out in the various locations. In the town players play influence cards to gain abilities granted by the various buildings. Cleverly,before all the gold runs out players must get all their men and influence cards out of the village, or suffer potentially major VP penalties. Thus deciding when to start getting out is quite a tricky decision. UK postage flat fee £4 for 1st game, £7 for 2 games or more. All games shipped UK Royal Mail tracked 48. Non UK postage by request.
