Overview

Light, quick game set in the American "wild west." Players explore various Location cards with the potential for gold. Then they set up their tokens on those Locations, which give a chance for payoff on that card. Each turn, a "prospecting roll" is made which allows one of the locations to pay out the next lode. Along the way, players may use Drifter cards to help them, each of which breaks a rule of the game. The player with the most money at the end of the game wins.
