About the game

What you do in a play session

Howdy, partners! Ready to spice up your Dice Town experience? This expansion, 'Wild West', bursts onto the scene to supercharge the base game with more action, more strategy, and of course, more fun! If you thought you'd mastered the town, get ready to discover its seedier, more exciting side. Now you can pan for gold in the river, shop at the general store, hire some bandits to help you out, hunt down outlaws, and even ally with the Native Americans. Nothing will ever be the same!

One of the major new features is the ability to add a sixth player to the table, making games even more chaotic and lively. But it doesn't stop there! The expansion brings a host of new game situations, with elements like ranches and outlaws to add that extra flavor. Plus, there are over 50 new cards, including 'Wanted' and 'River' cards, and a special Indian die that adds a unique touch to your rolls.

With these additions, the game becomes richer and more strategic, even when played with just two players. The simultaneous action selection mechanic remains, but with new options that will make you think twice before each move. If you enjoy Dice Town and want more depth and variety, this expansion is a feast. Get your dice ready, sharpen your strategy, and come conquer the Wild West all over again!
