您的担心有道理，不过我已经想好对策了。“淘金热”只是一个引子，由此带来的连锁反应才是我们这个游戏的制胜法宝，比如大量的移民涌入加州，工商业的发展，还有西部交通运输业的发展都可以成为游戏的一部分。

Your concerns are reasonable, but I've already come up with a countermeasure. "Gold Rush" is just the introduction-- the chain reactions that it brings along are the key to the game's success. For example, a ton of immigrants flooding into California, the development of industry and commerce, and the development of transportation and shipping in the West. All these things can become part of the game.
