Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- dice drafting — roll a mix of dice that determine which tiles are available to draft from a large pool; players draft tiles that form polyomino shapes and fit into their personal maps.
- multi-use action board — tiles feed into different track effects and endgame scoring, with a sheriff/arrest mechanic that can be bribed or mitigated.
- polyomino tile laying — players place oddly shaped tiles to form cattle, mines, and other western settlements; careful spatial planning matters.
