Corps of Discovery (2006)

“Thomas Jefferson bought (bargain-price) Louisiana from the French in 1803. This purchase more than doubled the size of the United States. Meriwether Lewis & William Clarke were chosen by Jefferson to Explore this vast, unknown region. They assembled a group of Soldiers, hunters, boatmen, and slaves (40-50 men) known as the Corps of Discovery. They set off from St Louis in 1804. They Traveled as far as the Pacific. The Expedition lasted two and a half years. They returned safely after mapping large areas, finding new plants and Animals and meeting many new Indian Tribes.” The players compete to acquire the most discovery cards by making sets of four and seven cards. Solo victory conditions are also included.
