Introduction
Originally released by Hans im Glück in 2014, Carcassonne: Gold Rush is an exciting tile-laying game set during the gold rush of the Wild West for 2 to 5 players, ages 8 and up.
Gold Rush is based on Carcassonne, and part of the "Around The World" series of standalone games, but is not compatible with Carcassonne or any of the other Carcassonne spin-off games.
The game uses many of the standard Carcassonne game concepts, but moves it from mediaeval France to the American Wild West.
"An unknown frontier stretches out before us. Construction of the first railroad lines has begun and the tireless work of the settlers is finally paying off as they leave their tents behind to prosper in the thriving cities that you helped to build. Trading with the natives is a lucrative affair and wild horses are especially valuable. But watch out, there’s gold in them hills! Everyone’s looking to get rich quick, so get to the mountains before the others mine them dry."
WICA Notes
Two versions of the rules were published in German during 2014, as were the rules produced in English by Z-Man Games. The second German version contained a number of corrections to the first, but it is not known (at this stage) whether the Z-Man version incorporated those later changes, or was based on the first version.
Initially, the following are based on the Z-Man Games version of the rules. Additional comments and clarifications have come from various Carcassonne discussion forums (BGG, CarcC and CarcF).
