Lynx

Description

In Lynx, an economic game with a historical and ecological theme, each player takes on the role of a late 18th century fur trapper in the Hudson's Bay region of northern Ontario who is exploiting the lynx-hare cycle and trying to outwit other trappers.

Traps are supplied by the Hudson's Bay Company with the agreement that all pelts be sold exclusively to them. By trapping when the lynx are plentiful and selling pelts at high prices, the trapper who earns the most money pays off their debt and becomes a free trapper.
