Rolled West (2019)

About this game

Stake your claim, build a mining empire, and keep one step ahead of the competition! Each round in Rolled West you will extract goods from the land based on a roll of the custom dice. Spend wood to make settlements and secure majorities in different terrain types. Use metals to fulfill contracts, make sales, or invest in a burgeoning boomtown. Bank resources during your opponents' turns to use later, and mark your choices on the included dry erase scoreboards. Will you come out on top at the end of 6 rounds? —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
