Build a Wild West town where a sheriff's dice roll decides which of your cards fire.
Who it's for
Tableau-builders who enjoy predicting and hedging against a shared randomizer rather than controlling their engine outright.
Not for you if…
You dislike randomness affecting your carefully built tableau; the dice-driven activation can trigger cards in an order you didn't plan for.
Vibe's take
Puzzly and a little unpredictable; you're arranging your tableau to hedge against whatever the dice roll triggers, and rows filling up and resetting keeps the board evolving under you.
West Story has players building rival Wild West towns by buying cards onto their personal boards, aiming to maximize both available actions and victory points. Every round, the sheriff rolls two dice, and all players activate the two matching cards on their boards, but predicting exactly which cards will fire, given how marked and blocked rows shift over time, is the real puzzle.
