About Sutter's Mill

In Sutter's Mill the players experience the sudden rise and decline of the Californian town of Coloma during the gold rush. They first build up the town, bring new citizens into it, and, last but not least, dig gold. However, when it is time and the gold vein is almost spent, they better take their belongings and get the hell out of Coloma! In the game, this is represented by a division in two phases: build up followed by tear down.
