About this board game
Tiny Epic Western: Deluxe Edition is a poker-driven worker-placement game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 45 minutes. Set in a rapidly growing Wild West, it challenges you to stake your claim and become the most powerful tycoon in the boomtown.
Each round, poker cards are dealt among locations arranged in a circle. You place members of your posse on these location cards, using them to perform actions while also bidding for the locations’ valuable resources. Your personal poker card combines with the two adjacent cards at a location to create a three-card hand, blending poker with modern worker placement.
Your influence takes three forms: Law, Money, and Force. Managing these resources is essential as you compete to buy buildings, claim their powerful abilities, and take part in gunfights. The game also asks you to gamble your relationships with the town’s most powerful bosses as you pursue greater influence.
- Place posse members to gain actions and bid for location resources.
- Build poker hands from adjacent location cards and your own card.
- Use Law, Money, and Force to buy buildings and gunfight.
- Compete for the most lucrative industries and their bonus points.
At the end of the game, the player with the highest stake in the most lucrative industry earns bonus points. Add those points to the points gained from purchased buildings, and the player with the highest total wins.
This deluxe edition of Tiny Epic Western also includes the Kickstarter Deluxe Promo Pack, bringing the poker, bluffing, bidding, and frontier competition together in one compact Western experience.
