Run, Cowboy, Run! (2020)

About this game

Run, Cowboy, Run! is a fast-paced race through the desert in which each player controls a running cowboy. The first cowboy over the finish line is the winner! Players take turns collecting and discarding cards, in order to score points by making pairs, taking tricks and collecting gold suited cards, moving their cowboy past the others and closer to the finish line. But watch out! Rattlesnakes! Dynamite! Bandits! And more! Players can use their collected hazard cards to stop other players in their tracks: moving their own cowboys forward and moving opponents' cowboys backwards on the track. Run, Cowboy, Run! is strategic, trick-taking card game for 2 to 6 players, ages 10+. The game comes with 56 playing cards, 6 running cowboys, the track, and detailed instructions. —description from publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
