## Description
Get ready for a Wild West adventure in Desperados of Dice Town! This gem is a sort of prequel to Dice Town, where the mission is to spring your bandit buddies from jail. Each player starts with five "desperados" locked up, each with a unique symbol. On your turn, you'll roll four dice, with the option to re-roll up to twice, setting aside the ones you want to keep. The trick is to match the dice results with your desperado's symbols. If you get a "hit," you rotate that desperado's disc, moving them one step closer to freedom. Each one has a different path to escape, and once they're free, things change: instead of seeking freedom, they start robbing your opponents blind! Certain dice combinations grant you bonus cards that can lead to special actions, like ignoring payments or using symbols in different ways. And if your turn is a total flop with no useful results, you still get a consolation card. The game ends when someone frees all their desperadoes first, or if you're the last "desperado" standing. It's a race against time and the other players to see who can pull off the greatest escape and the biggest haul!
