About the game
What you do in a play session
At the start, each player receives a character card that grants a unique ability, adding a strategic layer to their moves. The Sheriff reveals himself and kicks off the fun. On your turn, you roll five dice up to three times, trying to get the best combinations. The results can be used to shoot neighboring players, increase the range of your shots, heal your life points (or an ally's, how about that?), or – oh dear – attract the attention of the Indians. Each arrow you roll forces you to take an Indian token. When the last token is taken, everyone loses life points according to how many tokens they hold, and the tokens return to the center, ready for the next round of attacks.
But it's not all doom and gloom! If you manage to roll a trio of Gatling symbols, you can fire a shot at all other players and even get rid of your Indian tokens. It's a moment of glory! The game continues at this exhilarating pace until one of the teams meets its winning condition. And the best part? Even if you fall, your team can still win if your partners in crime (or law!) manage to secure victory. It's pure adrenaline and bluffing in every roll, perfect for those who enjoy a good confrontation with a touch of luck and strategy.
