Lewis & Clark (FR)

*French version

Lewis & Clark (FR) immerses players in a major historical expedition inspired by the legendary journey of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark across North America. In this richly layered strategy board game, each player leads their own expedition across the continent with the goal of reaching the Pacific coast before anyone else. Along the way, players must cross rivers and mountains, recruit companions, gather resources, and carefully manage every decision to stay ahead in the race westward.

At the heart of the game is a brilliant multi-use card system where every character offers a unique ability capable of generating resources, moving the expedition, or interacting with Native American tribes encountered during the journey. To activate a card, players must combine it with another card or use help from Indigenous allies in their camp. This creates constant strategic tension between immediate efficiency and long-term planning. Camp management also becomes essential, since carrying too many resources or companions can slow your progress dramatically.

You will likely enjoy Lewis & Clark (FR) if you appreciate resource management games, tactical optimization, and rewarding strategic depth. While approachable for an expert-level game, it offers tense and highly competitive sessions where timing and efficiency are everything.

Since its original release, Lewis & Clark has become widely recognized as one of the most innovative modern racing strategy games. Its unique hand-building system, blending deck development with action management, received strong critical acclaim and multiple international award nominations, including the As d'Or and Tric Trac awards.

Designed by Cédric Chaboussit and beautifully illustrated by Vincent Dutrait, the game features highly detailed artwork that enhances the atmosphere of exploration and discovery throughout the adventure. The visuals bring the wilderness, explorers, and historical setting vividly to life.
