I must say of all the videos I've watched on this channel this was your best. It was easy to follow and not be driven crazy by providing me the viewer so many options before you took an action. I am able to appreciate the gameplay a lot more.
This runthrough has made me desperately want to run out and purchase the game. Unfortunately the game is currently out of print!!! I'm now at the whim of the publisher and whether they want to put out another reprint in 2015. I can only hope and pray, because this master edition copy looks astounding!! Thanks once again for feeding my acquisition disorder Richard! Curse you!! ;)
hey buddy - if you're still interested, they're currently doing a reprint on gamefound right now! (till 6/14/2023-ish) i was looking at youtube to see how the game is played and came across these 9 YEAR OLD videos! looks fun - think i'll pick it up, myself. *cheers*
Yup, Xavier clarified here that multiple meeples (your own + others) can be placed on the simple income and single road sites: See BGG thread 481596 simple-wages-roads-space-question
Radho, when you duel you spend your gun tokens regardless of if you win or lose right? Does a player choose how many gun tokens they can add to a fight before or after they roll? Lastly, it seems a cowboy committed to a duel is returned to a player afterwards (it seems regardless of win or lose outcome); are the gun tokens as well? I ask bc I didn't see the gun tokens spent @ 18:00.
Jake Kamps You use all the gun tokens you have, you don't have to choose how many to use... You don't spend the gun tokens... you always keep them... except for the 3 Gun Token you get from the board (one of the spaces you can go to)... you keep that during the Round you get it, at the end of the round that 3 gun token is returned to the board and is up for grabs by anyone that goes to that space... A cowboy used in a duel (the ones on the board) has 2 possible destinations after the Duel: - if he wins he goes to the General Reserve - If he loses he goes back to the player supply
+Perry Mihalakos the rules actually make it pretty clear: "When a house does not belong to a specific player (when it is built on an owner-free parcel), it can increase the values of all neighboring buildings, whoever the owner is. However, when built on a parcel belonging to a player, this house will only benefit the buildings of that player (see example on the right). The same applies to mountains and mines."
1) Agreed, that's a shame that the randomness of the gang placement essentially ruined this game. At this point in the game, with two turns to go, do you think you have any shot at winning this game with the "Black Six Gang" occupying your mines? 2) This game seems really short. Not in the sense of real time, but that you are limited to 4 turns. Won't it take a full turn or two to finally rid yourself of the gang? At that point the game will be all but over.

The whole outlaws attacking you was based on karma from all your cheating! :)
There are two "no-duel" spaces on the board, the $4 space and the single road space. Those can have any number of any player's meeples.

That's the first time I've seen you flip the table. :)

If another player owns a house, can you still use it to increase your income for an adjacent building, e.g., a saloon?

Thank you! You made this game look so fun.
