How to play Western Legends: Big Box

Set up the board with all the expansions and prepare the specific card decks. Arrange the components and character cards, always paying attention to the specifics of each expansion included.

Each player chooses their character and receives the initial components: cards, miniatures, money and the player board with specific skills for each character.

Decide the order of turns randomly and follow that order each round, with each player performing up to three actions on their turn. Plan your actions based on personal goals and the dynamics of the game.

Interact with the game in various ways: explore, fight, fulfill objectives or do jobs. Each choice affects your trajectory in the game, so think strategically and adapt as necessary.

As the game progresses, use your victory points, gold and special skills to reach the desired title. Strategy and interaction with other players are crucial to success.

Earn victory points by taking part in activities such as capturing wanted persons, stealing, mining gold or playing poker. Balance taking risks and winning to maximize your earnings. Follow the rules of combat and confrontation when interacting directly with other players or dangerous elements on the board.

The player who reaches the game's victory point target first is declared the winner. Use your skills and resources to reach this goal efficiently.

Mechanics of Western Legends: Big Box

  • Bets and Bluffs - This mechanic allows players to take part in games of chance, such as poker, in saloons scattered around the game board. Players can bluff to trick their opponents and increase their chances of winning game chips. Bluffing is key to influencing opponents and manipulating the course of the game, creating an environment of constant uncertainty and strategy.
  • Campaign / Card Driven Battles - Battles and duels in the game are resolved using a card system. Players play cards from their hands to increase their attack or defense power. Each player must carefully manage their cards, choosing when to play their best options to maximize their chances of success in hostile encounters, such as confrontations with other players or characters controlled by the game.
  • Area Movement - Players move their characters around the game board, which represents a map of the Wild West, divided into several different areas. This mechanic allows exploration of different locations, such as saloons, bandit hideouts and gold mines. Strategic movement is essential, as players must choose wisely to avoid strong enemies or approach objectives that offer valuable rewards.
  • Data Scrolling - Dice are used in various situations to introduce elements of luck, such as when escaping from dangerous situations or trying to extract gold from mines. The results of dice can drastically influence the course of action, adding an element of uncertainty that players must be prepared to mitigate or take advantage of. Risk management is a crucial part of this mechanic, allowing players to weigh up the probabilities in their tactical decisions.
