Matt's advice: take at least 4 oxen, 100 lbs of food per person,
spare clothes for the cold mountains, and parts for repairs.

How to Play
Goal
Travel 2,000 miles from Independence, Missouri to Oregon while
keeping your wagon party alive and your supplies stocked.
Before You Leave
Choose a profession, name your five party members, choose a departure
month, and buy supplies at the General Store.
Travel
Press Travel to move along the trail. Pace affects how quickly
you travel and how much exhaustion your party receives.
Rations
Filling rations consume more food but can help keep your party healthy.
Meager and Bare Bones rations save food but can cause health loss.
Rest
Rest for a day to recover health. Resting also consumes food.
Hunt
Enter the hunting screen and tap animals to shoot them. Successful
hunts provide meat, which is added to your food supply.
Trade
Trail traders may offer exchanges of food, oxen, bullets, clothing,
or spare parts.
Repairs
A broken wagon must be repaired before you can travel again.
Spare parts make repairs reliable.
Rivers & Landmarks
Important landmarks can trigger special events, river crossings,
forts, or other choices. Read each event carefully before choosing.
Win
Reach Oregon with at least one living party member. Your final score
depends on survivors, health, supplies, cash, and your profession bonus.
Saving
Your current journey is automatically saved on the device, so you
can leave and return to the game later.
