Gold flows like an endless sea through the hills and forests of California, drawing prospectors from far and wide to stake their claim. In Gold Country, scout the land, develop mining companies, and invest in the richest mines as you compete to build the greatest fortune.

Gold Country is a strategy game from Reiner Knizia, with artwork by Beth Sobel. Inspired by Knizia’s Spectaculum, the game has been extensively redeveloped with Bitewing Games to create a new take on stock market manipulation, featuring a reworked core game, new maps, tactical abilities, and the landscapes of California.

Each turn, develop mining companies, buy and sell shares, and spend your money on powerful ability cards. Shared incentives and a changing market reward players who can adapt their plans while keeping an eye on long-term opportunities.

The game ends when all the gold veins have been discovered, and the player with the most wealth wins. Choose your investments carefully and see if you can strike it rich in Gold Country.
