Trail Story: America

About this board game

Trail Story: America is a 2024 adventure game for 2–4 players, with sessions lasting about 120 minutes. Set in the 1930s American wilderness, it invites you to travel through rural landscapes, discover unfamiliar places, and shape a personal story from your experiences.

As you journey to new locations, you’ll encounter opportunities and threats ranging from a hungry cougar and a lost lumberjack to cute or dangerous wildlife, foggy swamps, abandoned buildings, ancient burial grounds, and supernatural mysteries. Each encounter offers a choice about how you interact with the wilderness.

Along the way, collect stories and construct havens across the land. Your travels also provide memories, new skills, and inspiration from the places you visit. These experiences become the foundation for the journal you use to document your adventure.

• Travel through the rural American wilderness.
• Decide how to respond to strange, dangerous, and unexpected encounters.
• Use memories and inspiration to record story cards in your journal.
• Establish havens and write about your travels to score points.

Your journal becomes a testament to the journey, capturing the discoveries and challenges you faced until your next adventure. The goal is to collect the most points by combining your havens with the stories you record.

Will your travels produce the most exciting tale? In Trail Story: America, every location, encounter, and memory helps shape the story you’ll have to tell.
