Description
In Gold West, players take on the role of prospectors building their mining empires in the American West. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 4 players can compete to accumulate the most victory points through clever management of their growing empire. The game is all about finding a delicate balance between resource management and area control, as players plan their building strategies and manage their supply tracks to refine the right resources at the right time. Players collect five types of resources, including metals like Copper, Silver, and Gold, as well as building materials like Timber and Stone. Each resource has its own value and use, and players must carefully decide how to use them to build camps and settlements, collect more resources, and influence the landscape. With a playtime of just 45 to 60 minutes, Gold West is a fun and challenging game that's perfect for players of all skill levels.
