Friday Funday - Oregon Trail: Updated For Modern Times
7This is ridiculously deep and well done for what seems to primarily be an ad to visit Oregon:

(My favorite part is probably the 8-bit soundtrack.)

That seems seriously cool.
Now I suppose I just need to find the free time and money to follow up and visit Oregon.
I bought a fisherman and he died from an ice cream headache like two days later wtf
Just looted his corpse so I guess things are fine
How do you meh employees always know when I have things I have to get done, but would rather avoid? I already have a tab open to swarmism as I type, now I need to check this out too.
@Pantheist
???
I am so out of it …
@f00l I only started playing after the paperclip game a month or so ago, but:

Well this seems appropriate.
I found Thule Trail many years ago, and it takes the Oregon Trail idea and turns it into a car trip with your friends on your way to a concert. I had a bit too much fun with it at the time https://jayisgames.com/games/thule-trail/
So, there’s an Oregon Trail card game. It’s… difficult. I imagine the actual trek was truly arduous, but I think they could have made the card game with less despair. Still fun when dysentery strikes.
@mschuette If you like card games, check out smash up. Jen got it for me on my birthday, and it has quickly become one of my favorites.
I played for an hour, had no idea wtf I was doing. Two people died. Didn’t find any gas stations.
I skied, mountain biked, snow shoed, hunted… That was fun. Just wish I knew why my people died. It didn’t say why. Had plenty of food and drinks.
Then I just gave up.
@RiotDemon Poco, my fifth, got carsick on the third turn and died two turns later. Guess I needed to find some dramamine. On the bright side, morale was excellent after Poco kicked the bucket, so maybe she was a pain in the ass or farted a lot…
Unwelcome to Oregon?
The trip goes much more nicely if I kill off the weakling whiners quickly.
Come road trip in Oregon, where everyone dies for no apparent reason.
@RiotDemon
Excessive toxic whining?
Y’all should check out Organ Trail. An EXCELLENT zombie apocalypse remake of the game. Skip the live action trailer to get to the actual game play.

@luvche21 I’m cheap though.
@RiotDemon Me too, but I got it in a Humble Bundle a couple years back for dirt cheap, so that was well worth it. Still only $5 though…
