Description
California Gold is a game of strategy and simulation where you play as a co-op supporting orange ranchers to get the best prices for their crops. The game is set in a historic context and involves collecting cards representing orange ranches in different cities and counties. Players use action points to acquire these cards, with the goal of having the most ranches in their co-op by the end of the game. As you play, you'll build local support structures like packing houses and nurseries, and use advertising and railroad contracts to increase profits. The game requires a mix of economic and farming industry knowledge, as well as the ability to speculate on commodities and collect sets of cards. With its normal complexity level, California Gold is accessible to fans of board games, and its 120-minute playtime makes for an engaging and challenging experience for 3 to 5 players.
