Western Legends

Product Information

Each turn there can be random events you have to manage and story cards that you achieve allowing you to gain additional bonuses. Blood Money also adds injuries, gained whenever a player character takes a certain amount of wounds. Injuries give negative effects that players will have to cope with for the rest of the game, making performing basic actions difficult and potentially affecting their final score. Characters are all well-known, historic American west staples including native Americans, deputies and outlaws. Quality components include the 3D general store that holds all the upgrade cards, the classic poker cards look like they are straight out of a spaghetti western and the box and board art fit perfectly with a muted sepia wash and beautiful dusty western scenes. I can't remember the exact moment, but I think in season 2 he just really lets his anger get the best of him, beating people up on the sidewalk for the most trivial stuff. Just his explosive temper,...

Western Legends has so much replay-ability with so many different ways to play and so many different choices that can impact on your success. At each point you have to decide what kind of game and what kind of player you are going to be. Pre-pub link is up, and the game is getting great numbers to start. https://www.gmtgames.com/p-1083-wings-for-the-baron-deluxe-gmt-edition.aspxThe forums at BoardGameGeek often have good discussions about gameplay.We have selected some of the best links below. (Links will open in a new window or tab) Solo ideas and discussions From outlaws, to gunfighters, to the American cowboy, and buried treasures on the frontier, Old West Legends provides tales, biographies, and in-depth history into the lives and times in the American West. As a sandbox game this is where the fun really begins, on your turn there are just so many options and all of them can support you in working towards becoming the most legendary figure in the Old West. You really can play this as you want to, become the most wanted character or become a marshal chasing down the bad guys arresting them and placing them in jail. Either way you can go into one of the two towns to spend your cash in the general store to buy a mule or a horse to increase your movement or buy and upgrade your weapons which prove your abilities in fights.

Thinking about it, I guess one of the things that bugs me is that there doesn't seem to be anything that you're compelled to do because there's so much to do that all of it, collectively, doesn't seem important. Take cattle wrangling. It doesn't earn you much in the way of points or currency... but just about as much as everything else you could do. On the one hand, that's great for variety and just enjoying what you're doing. OTOH, it seems to sap the urgency from the game. In M&M, for example, there's tension because your moves are so limited. But the payoff when you finally complete your task is pretty huge. You feel a sense of accomplishment because you took the risk and now here's your reward. Most of the rewards in Legends seem smaller, so the feeling of success isn't nearly as great. It's also because the risk seems smaller, so the energy in the game, in general, seems less. (with the obvious caveat that I've had all of one (1) play of Legends.) It didn't seem like I was moving toward any kind of exciting turn. I was just accumulating points doing... stuff. It was generally entertaining stuff, but still just stuff. I didn't see any turns that even approached the Doc Holliday moment that Wade described. I agree, the personal story cards are a bit lame. They seem to be the same for everyone, and there is nothing particularly personal about them. The Ante Up expansion has some other things that give you those legendary tokens. I have no idea if this is true, but I feel like the legendary tokens were in the works from day one (the spaces for them are on the original player mats), and the personal story cards were put in as balance, so if a player couldn't snag one of the big payouts in Ante Up that provided a token, they weren't out of the running score wise in the game.

Il Gioco in sintesi

Western legends by Kolossal games is a sandbox game set in the wild west. Players get to wrangle cattle, pan for gold, play poker and choose the path and story they write to wild west fame or infamy. My oldest daughter played clarinet and I got her a middle grade one so we didn't have to rent it. Of course, just after we got it she quits. Players are competing to become a true western legend and the game end is triggered when one player gains a predetermined number of legendary points. From the creative mind of Hervé Lemaître, players will enjoy a highly narrative and interactive experience, choosing a life of crime as a Wanted character or justice as a Marshal. Western Legends features historical characters from the American old west brought to life with the beautiful illustration work by Roland MacDonald.

If you like this game, you can visit the developer: https://kolossalgames.com/our-games/western-legends/ and buy a physical copy.The first part is House rules for Locations. Essential rebalancing (and most popular in my game group) is how the Mine, Cabaret and Poker (specifically “Ten-Gallon”) now works. Would never play without those three changes myself as they encourage the player to focus on interactive, difficult and interesting tasks rahter than, for example, pretty dull “turning in cash for LP” actions. Historic characters from the American Wild West face off and write new legends across the face of history! Gather your gun, your mount, and your grit as you forge your path into the history books. Western Legends is an open-world sandbox tabletop adventure for 2-6 players set in the American Wild West. Players assume the roles of historical figures of the era, earning their legendary status in a variety of ways: gamble, drive cattle, prospect for gold, rob the bank, fight bandits, pursue stories, become an outlaw, keep the peace. The possibilities are darn near endless. The Good, The Bad, & The Handsome expansion features three new legends with their corresponding goal cards: starting Marshal Judge Roy Bean, starting outlaw Butch Cassidy, and Joaquin Murrieta. This expansion also introduces 16 new story cards with a new condition, as well as 12 unique legendary items. OK. I was asking because I was genuinely unaware. I thought it had been highly regarded pretty much everywhere. It's kinda rare for something to be hailed here more loudly than elsewhere. It's usually the converse (see: Wingspan.) That is one of the greatest stunts I've ever seen, and surely one of the greatest stunts ever filmed. I don't even remember the movie, but I sure remember that train stunt.
