Trick Or Treat Studios Gold West CA. 1849 2nd Edition Board Game - Wild West Resource Strategy Game, Euro-Style Mancala Mechanics & Mining, Territory & Contracts Gameplay, 2-4 Players Ages 14+

Gold West transports players into the heart of the American frontier, where prospectors vie for wealth, land, and influence. Set up camps, gather resources, and stake your claims in a boomtown driven by smart decision-making and timing.

In each turn, players collect from their resource “bowls,” distributing metals and materials into bins. The longer you wait to harvest, the more powerful your yield — but you risk missing opportunities. Use your resources to build camps or settlements, fulfill contract cards, or advance town tracks that grant special powers.

Victory comes from a mix of infrastructure, trade, and strategic timing. You might focus on dominating terrain types, maximizing endgame bonuses, or outpacing opponents on ability tracks. Every game feels fresh, with multiple viable paths to win.

Whether you're a seasoned eurogame fan or new to thematic strategy titles, Gold West offers rewarding tension and replayability in every round. Saddle up, stake your claim, and may your claim be richest.
