You are the  Captain of the Jamestown Colony: Can you do any better than the real colonists? You will have a copy of the London Company's Instructions to help guide you. Also, you can ask your fellow colonists and the Native Americans for advice. Be careful, though, because some advice is better than others! You will get to compare your colony to the historical Jamestown at the end. By examining the "Now we know..."  section, you can learn from the mistakes of history so you do not repeat them when you play again.
