Build your own Wild West town!
West Story is a game based on long-term strategy, where you carefully draw cards from the market to create a self-propelling engine for your economy. By wisely managing your cowboys and resources, you'll create a thriving city that will outshine your opponents' settlements. You'll trade with other towns on the map and capture bandits. Or perhaps you'll be tempted to plunder to shore up your budget?
If you're looking for:
- An intermediate-level Euro game with plenty of twists and turns,
- An interesting blend of tableau building, resource management, and set collection mechanics,
- A game with high replayability thanks to a large card pool,
WEST STORY is the game for you!
Gameplay
Each round, after the sheriff rolls two dice, all players activate two cards on their boards, depending on the outcome of the roll. These cards are marked so they cannot be repeated until reset. If a card in a row is already marked in the next round, the player activates the first available card to the right. When a row is completely blocked, the player removes all markers from the row to start over!
WEST STORY: Pioneers
Additional cards to shuffle into the base game deck, including building cards, animal cards, and special cards that produce immediately upon purchase. The expansion also includes a solo variant.
