Area 1851
Cobble together contraptions in a simultaneous Western sci-fi play game. Each turn, players negotiate random events, draw Tinker cards, and roll for resources before building Gadgets or adding Modifications. Delivering inventions to townsfolk earns Reputation, while Feat cards provide additional goals and rewards. Assistants grant bonuses from locations around town, and unwanted cards can be scrapped. At the end of each turn, players pass their hands to a neighbor. The player with the most Reputation from delivered Gadgets and completed Feats wins.

moses3.5 A light, random invention building game. Just not what I am looking for in a game. - 10/13/18
