Lewis & Clark co-op exploration campaign
Corps of Discovery is a medium-heavy game (weight 6/10). Strategic depth is moderate (6/10) — pleasant to learn, but not infinitely deep. Decisions come at a steady pace (5/10) — engaged without being exhausting. There's meaningful but indirect interaction (interaction 6/10) — shared resources, catch-up effects, or watch-and-react moments. Direct attacks are minimal (1/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression. Some negotiation matters (negotiation 5/10).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.

Variance is moderate (input 6, output 4/10). Catch-up is moderate (5/10).
The theme is fully baked into the mechanics (9/10) — mechanics and fiction are inseparable. Tempo is steady (engine 4/10) — no big-payoff combo turns. And the game tells a story (narrative 8/10) — sessions have arc and consequences.
