Game Overview
At the start of a round all of the dice are rolled together and placed on the action board by number. On your turn you must use a die of your color and a neutral white die, one right after the other. Each die you choose allows you to take an action, such as build a tile, gain money, move figures, or score. In addition, your own colored die gives you a better version of the action!
At the heart of the game there is the struggle for territory control. But unlike other games in this arena, you only have a few of your own dudes to hold down the fort...

With careful planning and cunning tactics, can you roll your way to win the West?
