About the game

What you do in a play session

The beloved sheriff of Eureka Springs has passed, leaving the town vulnerable to a wave of ruffians looking to cause trouble! It's up to you and your fellow townsfolk to band together and wallop these troublemakers into oblivion. Townsfolk Tussle is a cooperative boss battler where players take on the roles of ordinary citizens defending their home. Forget terrifying monsters; here, you'll face off against a cast of cartoonish villains with a vintage animation vibe.

Each game challenges you to take down four unique bosses, each one tougher than the last. To succeed, you'll need to equip your townsfolk with cool gear, explore every corner of Eureka Springs, and concoct clever strategies to defeat these hoodlums. The game features a dice system that can lead to surprising outcomes, with critical hits and failures adding an extra layer of excitement.

With variable player powers, a customizable setup, and the ability to play solo or with up to five players, Townsfolk Tussle offers significant replayability. It's a blast for anyone who enjoys a lighthearted theme combined with tactical challenges and plenty of player interaction. Get ready to defend the town and maybe even earn the title of the new sheriff!
