About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! Ready to dig deep and build a mining empire in the Wild West? In Rolled West, each round is a new race against time and the competition. You'll roll custom dice to see which resources you can extract from the land. Wood will be used to build settlements and help you dominate different terrains, while metals are the currency to fulfill contracts, make smart sales, or even invest in the booming boomtown. And the coolest part: you can save resources during other players' turns to use later, all neatly marked on the dry-erase boards. The game lasts for 6 rounds, so every decision counts to see who will come out on top in this gold rush. It's a fast-paced game with a satisfying 'roll-and-write' feel, where dice luck mixes with strategic planning for your next moves. Perfect for those who enjoy a light, thematic game that doesn't take up too much table time. If you like managing resources, completing objectives, and hoping luck is on your side, Rolled West might become your new favorite. Let's place your bets and see who fares best!
