## Description
In Stroganov, you step into the boots of a 17th-century Russian explorer venturing into the vast, icy lands of Siberia, seeking fortune, especially in the form of coveted furs. The game spans four years (rounds), with each season—spring, summer, and autumn—inviting you to push eastward across the territory, expanding the map as you explore. When winter arrives, everyone returns to the city of Tyumen to prepare for the year ahead.

You have a limited pool of action points to spend on various activities. You can travel faster by spending horses, collect valuable furs, trade, or engage in more complex actions. How about visiting a village, setting up a yurt camp, fulfilling the Tsar's wishes (represented by cards), building hunting lodges, or acquiring land tiles? Every choice matters, as all these actions, along with exploration and a bit of storytelling, contribute to your victory points at the game's end.

Stroganov is a medium-heavy eurogame blending mechanics like worker placement, area movement, and set collection. Map expansion and smart management of your action points are crucial for success. If you enjoy games with themes of exploration, territorial expansion, and a touch of Russian history, get ready for a chilly yet rewarding adventure!
