Notes on _Pick Your Own Path on The Oregon Trail_ (2020), a gamebook I picked up at Powell’s. Credited (on the publisher page) to Jesse Wiley.
Why is this interesting? Because it’s not the usual “turn to page 34” style of CYOA book. It’s a pipe-and-tab layout like _Meanwhile_! I’ve never seen one of these other than _Meanwhile_ itself.
