Description

Lonely Cairn is a solitaire game about finding the Northwest Passage in the mid 1800s. Modelled and based upon the ill-fated Franklin Expedition, players will need to equip their expedition and carefully chose what to take with them into the arctic. They will then sail though a channel of icy locations, facing deadly encounters along the way. They must reach the exit by the end of 8 turns, or face being locked in the ice forever.

This is a print-and-play game, with two main decks of cards, some tokens and a series of location cards. All components (and some alternatives) are provided in the PNP files. Expect your first expedition to take around 30min, with follow up games lasting around 15-20min. There are a million ways to die in the Arctic, so carefully choose your supplies and read the ice well, and you just might secure the coveted prize of discovering the fabled Northwest Passage.
