Description

Imagine a tropical island in the Pacific, where the world's most elite players gather for the largest annual poker tournament, Western Tropic. The island's center has been transformed into an authentic western town, complete with an eccentric billionaire who encourages participants to dress the part. As one of these players, your goal is to be the first to reach 60 points and claim victory, fortune, and fame. The game is designed for 3 to 8 players, and with simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be diving into the action in no time. The gameplay itself is where Western Tropic really shines. Using a 5x5 grid of cards, players create the best possible poker hand, with hole cards that are unique to each player. But here's the twist - each round, you get a third hole card that can be traded in for various actions, like moving your character around the grid or changing the grid entirely. The suits in the game give you different abilities, which can be used to improve your own hand or sabotage your opponents. And with 8 jokers thrown into the mix, you can expect plenty of chaos and unpredictability. The game combines the language of poker with popular mechanisms like deck-building and area control, making for a unique and engaging experience. With a playtime of 30 to 60 minutes, Western Tropic is the perfect game for a group of friends looking for a fun and challenging experience. Designed by Len Kendall and published in 2019, the game has already made a splash in the gaming community. Whether you're a fan of poker, card games, or just looking for something new and exciting, Western Tropic is definitely worth checking out. So gather your friends, get ready for some tropical fun, and see who will be the first to claim victory and take home the title of Western Tropic champion.
