Wapi

Wapi (Translated to English from Cree as "the lucky one") is a variant of Goldrausch set in the world of Indians. Players draw chits, which can either contain silver (to be placed on various mines) or mine tokens which players can use to claim the mines. If you make an early claim, you can play strong silver chits on your mine, but others can spoil your mine with weak chits. The game is a quick and light family fare. Winner of the French game award (best strategy game) in 2003.
