Wild West Weasels
A Fistful of Bandits
In Wild West Weasels 2-5 rival gangs must outrun the law and outsmart each other to strike it rich in the Old West!
Each gang has a leader with a unique power, 7 bandits (meeples) and some cash. Players use their bandits to loot the local towns - but each town is protected by Marhsalls and won't go down without a fight!
Players secretly choose how many bandits to send to each town. When ready, those bandits are thrown onto the table - and how they land determines their strength in the shootout!
Most bandits take out one Marshall. Gunslingers will take out three. And Cowards flee the battle!
If the bandits win, they'll each take a share of the loot. If not - they are arrested and must pay a hefty bail! The gang with the most money wins.
