I got a copy of "Oregon Trail - Card Game" for Father's Day. We've played it a couple of times now. It is truly as brutal as the video game. You play 10 rounds of 5 cards. One member of the party has to get all the way to Oregon to win.
In our first game, of our party of four, one died on the very first play from a snake bite. The next party member died of starvation in round 4.3. I went down hard from dysentery in round 8.4, leaving MomHawk to fend for herself on the trail. She made it to 9.3 within site of the goal, before drowning.
The reviews on Amazon are pretty harsh but all I can say is if you go into it with a sense of humor and nostalgia it was a lot of fun. As a family we have a tendency to (good naturally) rag on folks when playing games anyway, so that added to the fun.
