I kinda imagine it is a less than stellar tourist destination, but I couldn't ask to be quoted on that one.<br /><br />Great writeup though, as you actually made it sound more... adventure than it actually is. The Oregon Trail is definitely a game that you can see the board game roots in, as it can easily be very impersonal (I've never met someone who tries to role play as a thimble in Monopoly, for example) but it gains in investment as you put more of yourself across (this may have been a different writeup entirely were your team '1, 2, 3,4 and little baby 5'.)<br /><br />That said, my own personal elite crew? "Human", "Sacrifice", "Number" and "Four".<br /><br />Things didn't go so well for them.
