In the 16th century, Russia began to expand eastwards to develop the vast expanses of Siberia. This phase of history is closely associated with the name "Stroganov". In Stroganov, players try to collect the best furs to gain wealth and fame while moving through the vastness that is Siberia. They will travel across Siberia in spring, summer and autumn before returning home each winter. After four years (turns), the player who has used his actions best and collected the most victory points wins.
Each year, players must move east across the landscape. They can spend horses if they wish to travel further. Once they have moved on, they can take a basic action, such as trading or collecting furs or coins. Finally, they can take more advanced actions, such as visiting a village, setting up a yurt, taking a tsar's wish (map), setting up a hunting lodge or buying a landscape field. All of these actions - combined with exploration and storytelling along the way - earn players victory points at the end of the game.
Each winter, players return home to Tyumen to prepare for a new year. After four years, the game ends, and players score victory points based on the landscape tiles they have collected, the Tsar's wishes they have fulfilled, the hunting lodges they have built, the furs they have collected, etc.
