Board Game 
Board Game
Create a board game that utilizes all of the Westward Expansion and Oregon Trail research. You must create a rules page (how to play the game) that describes how to play and each detail of the game. The game board needs to be creative, with a game name, and all of the materials to play the game must be included. Fact cards (about the Westward expansion) must be printed by hand or typed, as well as other card piles you create.
