b"Lewis and Clark, designed by C\\xe9drick Chaboussit, is resource and hand management game with an historical racing twist. The characters are real figures from history such as Meriweather Lewis, William Clark, and Seaman the dog. Each player is leading an expedition\\xa0to map the Lousiana Purchase starting in St. Louis and ending in Fort Clatsop in what is now Oregon\\xa0State. Players will have to carefully manage how they utilize their cards and resources because reckless overloading of either may result in losing ground in this race to be history's first explorers across the expanding American territory.\\xa0 Our discussion focused on the process\\xa0C\\xe9drick\\xa0took in trying to get this game to a publisher. We\\xa0also discussed the main strategy that I called loss management. In this game players want to be as efficient as possible and finding that efficiency is not easy as the game offers so many different ways to spend and acquire resources. We also talked about the camping mechanic, which may force a player to lose ground. It's an interesting and thematic mechanic in a race game that can be both rewarding and frustrating. Finally, we learned a bit about what drew\\xa0C\\xe9drick\\xa0to the theme. If you wish to purchase a copy of this game or learn more about it, please follow this link to Ludonaute's website. While there take a peek at C\\xe9drick's next game: Discoveries, which is a dice game in the same world as Lewis and Clark. It sounds very interesting. I\\xa0want to thank\\xa0C\\xe9drick\\xa0for taking the time to speak with us. I was\\xa0excited to have our second French designer on the show. I'm looking forward to the next."
