Description

In the wild west of Texas, two feared outlaws, Eagle Perkins and Jessie Artist Byrd, are on a mission to steal Longhorn cattle and amass the most money. The game is simple yet strategic, with each player aiming to outsmart the other and get their hands on the valuable cattle and gold nuggets. The game is set up on a 3x3 grid, with locations filled with colored Longhorn cattle meeples and tokens that can either help or hinder the players' progress. As players take turns stealing cattle and moving around the grid, they must be careful not to get caught by the sheriff or run out of legal moves. The game ends suddenly when a player takes the sheriff token, collects all the cattle of one color, or when no more moves can be made. With its easy-to-learn rules and quick 15-minute playtime, Longhorn is a thrilling game of strategy and luck that's perfect for two players looking for a fun and challenging experience.
