Overview

In Chaparral, each player is an investor in the old American West in search of fortune, prestige and prosperity. Twelve characters are represented on the board and allow players to perform various actions: welcome diligence, buy and profit from businesses and farms, trade in the market, mining, hire cowboys and settlers, build the railway, etc. By carefully planning their actions, players accomplish goals. So who first reaches a certain number of goals, triggers the end of the game and may be able to win the match. However, the objectives are limited and in addition, unexpected events and the presence of Apaches, displaced from their natural habitat for the arrival of the white man, may require changes in strategy during the game of course!
