## Description
Saloon Tycoon puts you in the boots of a Wild West saloon owner, trying to turn a dingy bar into the hottest spot in town. With tile placement and action point mechanics, you’ll expand your saloon, attract wealthy patrons (and dodge troublemakers), and compete for the title of best establishment. The game blends strategy with a dash of 'take that' — because, let’s face it, the Wild West wasn’t exactly peaceful. In 30-60 minutes, you’ll manage gold, hire staff, and maybe throw a punch or two at rivals. The player with the most reputation points at the end wins the barrel (of glory, not whiskey).
