How To Play

The game plays over 4 rounds and each round is divided into 4 phases. The game primary scores through collecting or buying points as an action.

Phase 1 - Choose Characters

Phase 2 - Place Cowboys

Place your cowboys on actions in turn order until all players have passed, actions will be resolved in snake order. If you place on a spot with another player a duel will occur in the next phase.

Phase 3 - Resolve Actions

Following the snake resolve actions from 1-16, if two or more players on on the same spot a duel occurs.

Phase 4 - Clean Up

Building will move down the snake becoming cheaper and new ones added.

Duels

If several cowboys are on the same action or parcel of land a duel will occur, unless marked with an X through the Revolver icon.
