PLAYED FOR YOU
Longhorn
Stal Cattle and Gold
Cattle theft in Texas - as an outlaw you want to be the richest at the end or let your opponent be arrested by the sheriff. Nine locations are placed for a board in a 3x3 grid and you place cows and one randomly drawn action marker on each of them; when the sheriff is drawn he is placed on Notting Hill.
To determine the starting player you flip the Outlaw token like a coin, the other player chooses a four-cow location and places the Outlaw token there. If you outlaw is visible on the token, it is your turn and you steal cattle. You take - at the current location of the outlaw token - all cows in a color of your choice. Should you hold nine cows of one color, you win instantly. Otherwise, you implement - in case there are no cows at the location - the action marker: Gold Nuggets -> take it for gold; Branding Iron -> take cows from an adjacent location; Epidemic -> take all cows of a color out of the game; Snake Oil -> take another turn; Ambush ->- steal one nugget or two cows of a color from your opponent; Rattlesnake -> place one of your cows of each color on any adjacent locations; Sheriff -> you have lost instantly. Then, if applicable, you relocate the Outlaw token by as many locations as you took cows and turn it over. When all location that be reached are empty the game ends: Each of your cows earns 100 Dollar for each cow of that color still on the board.
This game is pure dilemma - each cow you take devalues all cows of that color! To cattily relocate your opponents surely results in retaliation and don't forget to consider the action markers! Fantastic tactical opportunities in an attractive game!
