Westward: Dice for Hire

It is 1875, the War of the States is over and the resulting economic boom inspires a great migration westward. Men and women from all walks of life make their way to the homesteads, cattle ranches and mining towns popping up all along America’s frontier. Amongst them is Russ T. Bullets, the newly appointed sheriff charged with apprehending desperados, outlaws and common thieves that have taken over the once bustling mining town of Crook City, Arizona. Each turn Sheriff Bullets (the player) rolls the resource dice to accumulate the items needed to perform his duties. With these resource items the sheriff can move about the town, duel nasty outlaws, rescue innocent townsfolk and collect reward money. As the lawlessness in Crook City increases the sheriff can hire deputies to help him clean up the town. Sheriff Bullets wins the game if he can successfully apprehend all the outlaws before the Arizona governor proclaims martial law.
