The Yukon Trail Overview
The Yukon Trail is set during the Klondike Gold Rush, placing the player in the role of a prospector. A central task involves gathering supplies and constructing a boat to navigate a mountain river, a process that begins after reaching Dawson City.
Historical figures such as Jack London appear, providing context about the regions of Alaska and Canada. The experience incorporates various activities beyond the main journey, including card games, betting on races, and the act of panning for gold.
Player actions and encounters are recorded in a journal, which serves as a log of the expedition. The game integrates these elements to simulate the prospecting life of the era.
