About this game
Stake your claim in the Wild West, where worker placement meets gunfight dice rolls. Carson City has you placing cowboys on action spaces to build the frontier town, but when two players want the same spot, a shootout decides who stays. Choose your character each round for unique advantages, then construct buildings whose value depends on their surroundings. The blend of Euro mechanics with Western showdowns creates something genuinely distinctive.
