El Dorado Canyon is a simultaneous-action selection card game set in the American Wild West with lots of shooting, stealing, bluffing, and mining. Every game of El Dorado Canyon is unique and you will mostly be interacting with the characters on your right and left, but not always. Each player will pick a card and play it at the same time, the cards will happen in a specific order, pick up the cards, and do it all again. The goal of the game is to gain infamy and gold and your final score will be the LOWER of these two, so make sure you gain them equally through the game. Do you have what it takes to become the richest, most infamous cowboy in El Dorado Canyon?
