On November 30, 1803, the United States purchased Louisiana from Napoleon. Thomas Jefferson decided to send two explorers, Meriweather Lewis and William Clark to discover this huge terra incognita.

In Lewis & Clark, each player leads an Expedition aiming at crossing the continent. Each player has his own Corps of Discovery that will be completed by the Native Americans and the trappers met during the trip.

Each player has Character cards in hand, that is his Expedition. These Characters allow him to perform actions such as collecting resources, moving forward on the route, asking Indians for help. To be triggered, each action must be given a Strength thanks to another card or Indians.
