Lewis & Clark: The Expedition

Lewis & Clark: The Expedition is a fascinating journey through the heart of American history. The game's premise, based on the real-life expedition of Lewis and Clark, immediately captivated me. You're not just navigating a map; you're building a team, managing resources, and making strategic decisions that feel authentic to the historical context.

The dual-use card system adds a layer of depth that I really enjoyed. Each decision feels significant, and the constant dilemma of using a card now or saving it for later keeps the game engaging. The "handbuilding" mechanic, where you collect character cards to enhance your team, is a clever way to simulate the growth and development of the expedition.

I found myself particularly drawn to the solo play aspect. The AI opponent provides a challenging and engaging experience. However, I do agree with some reviewers that in multiplayer, the game might feel a bit dated compared to more modern eurogames. But for anyone interested in history or strategic exploration games, Lewis & Clark: The Expedition is definitely worth a look.
