GOLD FEVER! GAME

Take our Adventure Tour… the Gold Fever! Game

One is given character fan. The person is either a Merchant, a Pioneer, or a Dreamer. The tour starts with ten gold pieces. The guides I had were Patrick Riley and person named Chen. Patrick Riley was from Ireland, Chen was from China. Interesting how the two will interact with each other!

Just before the tour ends, there is a gambling game called Spanish Monty. I ended up with four pieces of gold. The ticket price includes free Admission to Sacramento History Museum.
