Description

In Boomtown Bandits, you and your friends become bandits trying to rob a boomtown blind. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 5 players can join in on the frantic fun, taking only 30 minutes to play. The game is a real-time dice shoot em' up where you take down the bank, train, stagecoach, and other locations to get the most loot. Players place tokens around the town, hiding their coward's identity, and then reveal them, leading to a Wild West "draw" when competing bandits try to rob the same location. Simultaneous dice rolling ensues, with players rolling as many dice as they allocated tokens, until someone hits or a coward runs. The bandit with the most loot wins, making Boomtown Bandits a thrilling game of strategy and luck, perfect for those who love the American West and a good shootout.
