In Lynx, each player takes the role of a late 18th century fur trapper in the Hudson’s Bay region of northern Ontario, exploiting the lynx-hare cycle and outwitting other trappers. Each player has been supplied traps by the Hudson’s Bay Company with the agreement that all pelts be sold exclusively to them. By trapping when the lynx are plentiful and selling pelts at high prices, the trapper who earns the most money pays off their debt and becomes a free trapper.
