Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • boomtown tiles with first-player resolution — Variable Boomtown tiles offer powerful actions to the first player who resolves them.
  • bust progression and track advancement — Each time you bust you advance on all of your tracks, increasing value or scoring opportunities.
  • Buster placement and bust prediction — Buster is placed on the next wedge clockwise from The Barker, making that space likelier to bust and affecting strategy.
  • Deck Building — An entirely new deck of building cards provides additional buildings and combinations to explore.
  • new building card deck — An entirely new deck of building cards provides additional buildings and combinations to explore.
  • outer edge extension and route choices — Introduction of an outer edge board with ground paths, canyons, and waterfalls that affect path options and bonuses.
  • shootout mechanic revision — First player marker is no longer a reward for the winner of the shootout; rotation occurs to balance order of play, and winners must match not exceed Outlaws to win.
  • simultaneous wedge selection on action wheel with bust — Players select a wedge; then take the two actions on their chosen wedge; the most popular wedge busts leaving only its outer action; wheel rotates each turn.
  • Track Advancement — Each time you bust you advance on all of your tracks, increasing value or scoring opportunities.
