Description

Demonstrate your mastery of the frontier through establishing yourself as the preeminent family in a new town in the early Upper-Midwest. Step back in time and experience every-day life for the region's settlers. Establish a farm, feed your family, and acquire political influence, religious fervor, and money to enact different frontier roles before the train station comes to town ending your frontier experience. In this game you will manage resources as you navigate the every-day and macro-period challenges of the time. This is a very engaging, decently challenging, and historically informative game that brings people together over a common Mid-Western heritage.
