Prospectors are flockin' out here to try to make they's riches, hopin' to strike gold. But us, we got a better idea don't we? That's right! Regardless of who finds the gold, everyone is gonna need a place to stay, play, and drink. So let's build the best gald darn Saloon that's ever been built! Players are Saloon owners in an old west gold rush town. They've purchased lots on the four corners of the main crossroads and need to expand their small establishments into thriving businesses. Their goal is to create massive centers for commerce and entertainment in the wilds of the West. To boost their success, they'll need to attract the wealthy and famous citizens of the town while keeping away the less savory characters. This is a building and tile placement game where the purpose of the game is to build the best saloon. The game is played by each player taking a board and then taking turns going clockwise from the first player earning gold, taking an action, building and collecting bonuses. The player with the most reputation points at the end of the game wins! 2nd Edition Features: Updated Score Track - The score track board is larger and a bit more user friendly with spaces earlier in the game having more room as tied scores are more likely earlier in the game. 25% more cubes - That means bigger Saloons and more time to implement your strategy! Balance Changes - You can score Secret Claims DURING the game; Fewer "take that" cards and mechanisms; Sidney Smythe's Outlaw trigger is changed. Expansions - will they work with 2nd edition? We have not evaluated this yet, but we think that most expansions can be implemented with the 2nd edition. We do plan to reevaluate and likely reintroduce the expansions in a 2nd edition format making any necessary changes. More information will be shared as this develops. Ages 10+, 2 to 4 Players
