"Yellowstone"
re-creates the struggle of the wild herds of the Northern Rockies to survive
and thrive. The players take on the task of guiding one of the four grazing
species --- bison, bighorn sheep, elk or mule deer --- from its Winter
Range to its Summer Range, amassing as many Food Points as possible. With
the onset of Autumn, the herd must return to its Winter Range. Between
those ranges are the dangers posed by prowling predators and the wilderness
itself. Movement is fastest for the males, slower for the females and slowest
for the young, but Points are more for slower groups (females & young),
so there may have to be some sacrifices and changing strategies along the
way. The herd with the most Points is the victor. Typical playing time
from one to two hours.
Game components include :
Mapboard, 92 Counters, Scoring Worksheets pad, 2 Dice, "Yellowstone: The
Park Behind the Game" booklet, Introductory Game instructions & rules.
Two to four players. Ages
8 & up. Avalon Hill.
An
important note regarding Avalon Hill games
- It was not unusual for Avalon Hill to re-publish most of their games
with 2nd, 3rd or more Editions. Sometimes the game components changed,
sometimes they didn't. If your game components do not correspond exactly
with what is listed, do not despair. You may just have to do a little more
checking to insure its completeness.
