Klondike Rush – Strike It Rich in the Gold Rush!
Gold has been discovered in the frozen mountains of the Klondike, and four mining companies are racing to claim their fortunes! In Klondike Rush by Red Raven Games, players become investors hoping to make the smartest investments, build profitable mines, and become the wealthiest person in the Klondike.
But there's more than gold to worry about. Rumors of a mysterious Snow Beast are spreading through the mountains, and there's a reward for anyone who can track it down!
Gameschooling Connections
Klondike Rush offers some great opportunities to practice real-world math and financial thinking:
Money management: Players must keep track of their cash and decide how much they can afford to spend.
Addition and subtraction: Bidding, paying for mines, and collecting rewards provide opportunities to work with numbers.
Strategic thinking: Players must evaluate investments, consider their options, and decide when to take a risk.
Planning and decision-making: Choosing where to build mines and which tokens to collect requires thinking ahead.
Economics: The game introduces concepts like investing, company value, profits, and completing orders.
Klondike Rush combines bidding, investment, and route-building in a competitive gold-rush adventure. Beneath its beautiful artwork and charming miniatures is a surprisingly thinky economic game where every dollar counts. Players need to carefully consider what they're willing to pay, which companies are worth investing in, where to build their mines, and when it's time to turn those investments into cash.
