Townsfolk Tussle

Gear up your townsfolk and wallop four increasingly mean ruffians in a humorous Wild West co-op.

Townsfolk Tussle (2022) is a co-operative boss battler set in a tongue-in-cheek Wild West town. Eureka Springs has lost its beloved sheriff, ruffians are pouring in, and it falls to you and your fellow townsfolk to wallop them out of town. Across a game you take on four unique ruffians, each tougher than the last, while you gear up your characters, explore the town and cook up tactics for each showdown. Miniatures, a square grid, dice that can crit or flop, and a good dose of humor keep it lively. It runs long, so plan an evening, and it plays solo too.

Who it's for

You like miniatures, boss fights and jokes, and you can set aside a whole evening with friends who enjoy a bit of dice chaos.

Not for you if…

You want a short game or a serious simulation. It is long, dice-driven and tongue-in-cheek, and it is rated for older players.

Vibe's take

Chaotic, funny and tactical. Dice bring big hits and bigger fumbles, but teamwork and gear choices decide whether the town survives.
