Klondike Rush

About this board game

Klondike Rush is a bidding and stock game for 2–5 players, set during a gold rush and played in about 60 minutes.

Players build mines along different routes, creating the central focus of this gold-seeking game. The bidding and stock elements give Klondike Rush its defining structure, while the route-based setting places those decisions in a frontier gold rush theme.

Alongside the mine-building action, players have the opportunity to pursue a wild monster that has been frightening the miners. Hunting it can lead to a big reward, adding a distinctive source of excitement to the game’s gold rush setting.
