About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, dice slingers! Ready for another round of Dice Town? The Cowboys expansion has arrived to add extra spice to your Old West adventure. Besides keeping an eye on your gold nuggets, you now have to protect your herd! This mini-expansion brings a brand-new game board, some cool cards, and fifteen adorable cow miniatures. The big twist is that the Aces you roll on your dice now have a new, awesome utility: you can retrieve your cows from the field and score points with them. But watch out, if you leave them out in the open, be prepared! Your sly opponents might try to steal your precious cattle. It's another layer of strategy and interaction to make the game even more dynamic and fun. If you already enjoy Dice Town and want more excitement, this expansion is for you. It adds a "protect your assets" element that fits perfectly with the base game's vibe. Get ready to defend your cattle and maybe even "borrow" some cows from others! With this expansion, Dice Town becomes even richer in decisions and tense moments. Who will be the best rancher in the Old West?

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base game Dice Town to play with this expansion?
Absolutely! "Dice Town: Cowboys" is an expansion, so it adds content to the main game and cannot be played alone.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion maintains the player count of the base game, which is for 2 to 6 players.
Does the game complexity increase significantly with this expansion?
Not significantly. It adds an interesting new mechanic, but the learning curve is quite smooth, especially if you are already familiar with Dice Town.
What exactly comes in the box?
You'll find a new game board, some new cards, and 15 cow miniatures.
Is this expansion focused on stealing other players' cattle?
There is the possibility of stealing cattle, but the main focus is on managing your own herd, protecting it, and scoring with it. Stealing is an interaction tactic, not the central objective.
Does the game time change much?
The game time remains similar, around 45 minutes. The expansion adds more options, but dice rolling and simultaneous action selection keep the pace brisk.
