Western Legends Solo Variant I can't remember the exact moment, but I think in season 2 he just really lets his anger get the best of him, beating people up on the sidewalk for the most trivial stuff. Just his explosive temper,... Western Legends has so much replay-ability with so many different ways to play and so many different choices that can impact on your success. At each point you have to decide what kind of game and what kind of player you are going to be.

The Old West, often referred to as the Wild West, encompasses the period after the Civil War, the rest of the 1800s, and the early part of the 20th century up to 1912, when the last mainland states entered the Union. During this time, thousands of pioneers pushed their way westward in search of land, better lives, gold and silver, and sometimes, to escape the law. Geographically, the “Old West” generally applies to those states west of the Mississippi River. The publisher confirmed that Blood Money would be “the final chapter in the Western Legends saga”, with no future releases planned. Quality components include the 3D general store that holds all the upgrade cards, the classic poker cards look like they are straight out of a spaghetti western and the box and board art fit perfectly with a muted sepia wash and beautiful dusty western scenes. Each turn there can be random events you have to manage and story cards that you achieve allowing you to gain additional bonuses. As a sandbox game this is where the fun really begins, on your turn there are just so many options and all of them can support you in working towards becoming the most legendary figure in the Old West. You really can play this as you want to, become the most wanted character or become a marshal chasing down the bad guys arresting them and placing them in jail. Either way you can go into one of the two towns to spend your cash in the general store to buy a mule or a horse to increase your movement or buy and upgrade your weapons which prove your abilities in fights.GOLD RUSH is an easy fix to the problematic Gold strategy. BRUTAL BANDITS is for those of us that can’t even buy the “Fistful” expansion. Plus other rules adding difficulty. In Western Legends, players can rob the bank as Billy the Kid, evade the sheriff as “Doc” Holliday, or rustle cattle as Calamity Jane. In the end, the objective is to go down in history as the most legendary figure of the time.

These are a set of optional rules for Western Legends that our group plays with. I hope you like them The third part is a “Mini expansion” and here especially unique weapon abilities for shotgun, revolver and rifle are something that should interest most western fanatics. The first part is House rules for Locations. Essential rebalancing (and most popular in my game group) is how the Mine, Cabaret and Poker (specifically “Ten-Gallon”) now works. Would never play without those three changes myself as they encourage the player to focus on interactive, difficult and interesting tasks rahter than, for example, pretty dull “turning in cash for LP” actions. Blood Money also adds injuries, gained whenever a player character takes a certain amount of wounds. Injuries give negative effects that players will have to cope with for the rest of the game, making performing basic actions difficult and potentially affecting their final score.Money is used to upgrade your character actions, increase your fire power or buy a horse so you can move further. Players assume the roles of historical figures of the era, earning their legendary status in a variety of ways: gamble, drive cattle, prospect for gold, rob the bank, fight bandits, pursue stories, become an outlaw, keep the peace. Western legends by Kolossal games is a sandbox game set in the wild west. Players get to wrangle cattle, pan for gold, play poker and choose the path and story they write to wild west fame or infamy. This 2-6 player game features hand-sculpted miniatures from Pure Arts ( Kemet, Inis), beautiful illustrations by Roland MacDonald ( Stop Thief, Shogun 2), and graphic design by Brian Lee ( Heroes Wanted, Team Play).
