## Description
In Cartaventura: Oklahoma, you dive into an exciting narrative adventure set in the United States of 1854. The story places you in the shoes of Bass Reeves, a 23-year-old enslaved man who dreams of freedom. Born and raised under the yoke of slavery, Bass is determined to escape and forge his own destiny, no matter the cost. Will he find the Indian camp? Will he manage to become a Marshal? Will he win at poker? Can he escape his former master and find his way to freedom? The choices are yours, and each decision will impact the outcome of the journey. The game is a cooperative or solo experience where players build the narrative through cards. Map cards form the central setting, while action cards are arranged around them, offering crucial options. The team must consult each other to decide which action to take: draw a new card, flip an existing one, discard, among others. Pay attention to urgent cards, which can instantly turn the game upside down, requiring immediate reading. Object cards, once acquired, are placed in front of you and can be used strategically throughout the adventure. The game system is very intuitive, with a tutorial included to guide your first play. The beauty of Cartaventura: Oklahoma is the possibility of replaying the scenario multiple times, exploring different paths and decisions to uncover all its secrets and multiple endings. Each new playthrough is a chance to refine your choices and discover new facets of Bass Reeves' story.
