Equipment tiles, which give you a passive bonus, are particularly interesting. Money and resources do the kind of money and resource-y things you’d expect in a eurogame. The decision space is cleanly presented and frequently all 3 choices will be compelling in different ways. Avoiding that fate would be simple, except that what the dice actually give you on your turn depends on the symbol displayed, not the color.Įach time you draft a die you get a choice: use it to acquire the good indicated on the die, get some money (again dependent on which symbol you take), or take one of the townspeople. If a dreaded black die remains, all four of the disaster tracks advance. The color of the one die left at the end determines which disaster track progresses. See, Pioneer Days is a dice drafting game where the number of dice available at the beginning of any given round is equal to the number of players plus one. The best part of the disaster system is that its progression is determined pseudo-collectively. I suspect that will be a positive attribute for many people, but I’m a bit disappointed. ![]() The kind of existential dread you’d find in a game like Agricola is completely absent. These disasters are less catastrophic portents of doom and more bumps in the road to keep an eye on. Or maybe you’ll be raided and lose half of your money. When they trigger they will cause a negative effect to everyone-maybe disease will plague the travellers and everyone will need to spend medicine to try to keep the townsfolk accompanying them alive. As you go along meeting townsfolk, acquiring supplies, and raising cattle, four progression bars will slowly advance. That’s not to say that there isn’t any danger in Matthew Dunstan and Chris Marling’s take on Oregon Trail migration. Still, there’s a certain amount of romanticism people give it, and Pioneer Days latches onto that with enthusiasm. It’s a cliche now, but there’s certainly some truth to the idea that the people who really “made it” during the Gold Rush were those selling shovels. I mean, it was certainly profitable for some people who traveled West in search of gold or a better life, but most failed to find riches. I’ve visited parts of the Donner Trail, named after a party famous for resorting to cannibalism. The journey was rife with starvation, disease, and death. I had the pleasure of learning quite a bit about the migration west on the Oregon Trail in my mandatory 8th grade California history class, and I can tell you that it was definitely not all sunshine and roses. The cover of Pioneer Days depicts a colorful cast of eclectic characters smiling in the sun and looking like they’re having a splendid time in the great outdoors.
