## Description
Get ready for gold fever in Lost Valley: The Yukon Goldrush 1896! Inspired by the wild gold rush of the late 19th century, this game puts you in the boots of a prospector searching for fortune. News of gold discoveries in the Klondike spread like wildfire, and thousands risked everything on an arduous journey north. You'll face treacherous mountains, hostile weather, and dwindling resources with every step. The goal? Explore a valley that expands with each game, hoping to find gold veins, forests for timber, or rivers for fishing. The map changes every time, so danger and luck can be around any corner! Managing your supplies is crucial: you'll need tools, dynamite, and wood for mining, but don't forget food and rifles to survive the wilderness. The second edition accommodates more players (up to 6!), offers a quicker playtime, and introduces new features like a third path to victory, canal building, and learning new abilities. It's an adventure that tests your luck and strategy with every move!
