About

The California Gold Rush–been there, done that. By 1859, Northern Nevada was the place to be after a deep vein of silver was discovered under the mountains. Grab your pickaxe, hearty prospector, and mosey on over to the Comstock Lode where new fortune awaits in 1849: Nevada Silver. Technological advances and lessons learned from the Gold Rush make the Nevada Silver Expansion Pack a rewarding new arena for 1849 players. With trains moving goods between distant cities, steam-powered mills boosting production, and more complex mining processes yielding deeply hidden riches, 1849: Nevada Silver expands on 1849's addictive simulation gameplay to provide more challenge on a bustling new frontier.
