In this role-playing game after-action report on the Japanese New York City in the early 1800s You are Pekin, the newest member of a Going West tradition of nomadic, itinerant, and itinerant families. Your town of Pekin is a small, isolated post on the way to and from trade and business trips to and from the American and Chinese markets. You are a way-station on the way to and from the American and Chinese markets. In this game, you are the head of a family who controls a small town. The town's inhabitants are traders and entrepreneurs who must find ways to get to the American and Chinese markets. The game is set in the early 1800s and sees you travel to different places to meet different traders, hear different stories, and interact with different kinds of people. You must find it in yourself to make this going west thing work as a living, because it is a very long and dangerous journey. You have your own little group of entrepreneurs who are looking for ways to make some money so that they can buy things that will help them make the trip to the American and Chinese markets. You must find ways to make this trip without selling your town and your people to someone who wants it for his or her own business.
