About the game
Ready your weapon and tip your hat, because things are heating up in the Old West! In Wanted: Rich or Dead, you aren't just any cowboy; you are one of the most infamous characters on the frontier, and your sole mission is to leave this town with a pocket full of cash. This game is a frantic race where strategy and audacity go hand in hand. Each round, the suspense builds: you secretly choose one of the five locations in town to visit, but watch out! If you and another gunslinger pick the same spot, what was meant to be a smooth heist turns into a wild shootout. In these confrontations, only one survivor walks away, and luck (and your skill with the die) will decide who keeps the loot and who ends up in the dust. Every character is unique, featuring a set of five cards used for both movement and duels. You can try to be a master strategist, accumulating useful items from stores and banks, or you can embrace the chaos, focusing solely on intercepting your opponents to ensure no one leaves with a cent more than you. It's a high-interaction game where space is tight and dangers are constant. If you enjoy fast-paced games with heavy player interaction and a constant sense of risk, this is your game. But don't be fooled: even with each character's special abilities, a single die roll can change a gunslinger's fate. Get ready for quick decisions, unexpected shootouts, and tons of fun in a very short playtime, perfect for a quick session between meals!
