The Town of Profanity - Wild West
« on: July 21, 2013, 10:42:39 AM »
A scenario far too difficult to explain. We played this at the Goulburn Stormers today.
Apologies for the variable quality photos as I was a little busy running it.

It was a hoot of a day.

 :-* wow what a huge town. Thanks for sharing. If my own Schitte Creek gets to half that size I'd be happy. I would have loved to play a game on that board.

What rules were used?

My own and under development but not for publishing. They are designed for very fast play and large groups.

I do not hand them out as a set but give a quick description (one minute) of what each player needs to know (move rates, weaponry, player and NP characteristics etc). Most of this stuff is made available on the table.
 
With large groups, I try to get them to self-referee. If you're going to cheat while playing with toy cowboys, there's probably no hope for you.

The tools and mechanics are so simple that, after the intro, it becomes a test of character.

We had one player who climbed onto a roof and started calmly picking off civilians with a rifle. Another decided on a whim to rob the bank, a turn before the real bank robbers turned up. A third forgot the basic physics of throwing sticks of dynamite.

Rusty horseshoes are awarded to the best actions and decisions of the day and aren't about "winning".

Sounds like a riot...and whilst my game has a bunch of rules, I am always curious to see the mayhem that erupts from them.  I'd love to watch one of your games in action.

Love your towns name.  And like the town, upwards of thirty buildings.  Plus a railroad and some terrain.  Very nice.  Good job.
