This game looks like a board game variant of Red Dead Redemption. I like it! 👍
@17:34: Rahdo's yellow mark stays on the "quest" even though he didn't score a Marshall point, even after the example is rewinded... until 19:26.
As per usual a fun runthrough Richard, thanks!
Great review Rahdo! I love your excitement. You and your reviews are a major reason I got into our hobby. Thank you for what you do. Keep making videos!
I miss this way you used to film play throughs. I like how the camera moves around the board from your point of view, rather than the overhead shot you now use. If you ever feel like mixing it up, it would be welcomed. :) Looks like a fun game. I noticed it on kickstarter but couldn't really get a feel for it. I'm not usually drawn to western themes or games that incorporate poker. I thought it was heavy on that action, but here you can see there is a nice variety of actions you can take. Your video is very helpful. Thanks!
i agree there's a certain energy that's lost with the static cameras, but honestly, i had to make the change because it was SOOO much more mentally taxing being my own cameraman while also filming, and i was just getting burned out! :(
Did the man in black cross the desert and the gunslinger follow?
it is funny, because it is exactly why I think I am going to buy this game! There's the man in black and I want to play as Roland Deschain
Did you have to switch to the static cam mic around the 24:45 mark?
I think he may have bumped it or dislodged it or something.
yup, that's exactly what happened
Thanks so much for the great video!!!
Okay I'm only 5 minutes through thus first video and it looks amazing!
@ 4:51: If you are dealt 4 secret goals at the beginning of the game and then lose one randomly, why not just deal 3 to each player instead?
If I understood correctly,
I don't think you are dealt 4 secret goals. I think each character has a deck of 4 cards, out of which you lose one (or if you prefer, are dealt 3).
So basically there isn't a common deck of secret goals, out of which you get 4, then lose one. Instead, your character has a deck of its own, consisting of 4 secret goals, out of which you get 3.
yup
great video. Quick question, if all of the players are involved in a hand of cards, who chooses the houses cards?
in that case, the house doesn't play (though it does still provide the $50 to the pot)
rahdo thanks
Good playthrough! One question: Are the poker cars hidden from the other players?
yes :)
Does Jen hanker' for a hunk of cheese?
a slab or slice or chuck of!
Just curious, don't you draw 2 more cards after the flop and pick the best 5? That would be closer to Texas Hold'Em.
well, the thing is, in this game it's not at all uncommon that you'll start the round of poker holding 4 or 5 cards in your hand, so effectively you get all your cards before the flop
This games looks like a really well done re-theme + streamlining of Merchants & Marauders
merchants and marauders makes more sense to me. It has an overall better look/style to it too.
WTH? I came here to refresh my memory after not playing this for the past 1 1/2 pandemic years. I bought mine retail and there is NO Geronimo or Crazy Horse!!! Instead there is Y.B. Rowdy and Bloody Knife = very less Legendary. Bloody Knife is exactly the same as your Geronimo so it’s sad they switched them out. Maybe they were KS inclusive? There were also some rule changes made that were shown here.
ah interesting. i didn't know about the changes
Great runthrough again Richard. Love you scattiness when playing games. Haha. However, when you were playing poker, the house had a 5 card run with 4,5,6,7,8 of a different suit and you had a flush with all 5 diamond cards with king being the highest diamond so that beats the run and you didn't need to cheat, or did you just want to cheat? 😉
Mark Williamson the house didn’t have a 6 (so no five card run) and if he went for the royal flush he would’ve had to use all 3 cards in his hand :)
It was impossible for Jen to have a flush. That 8 of hearts from the flop is one of the five cards that makes up Jen's hand.
If you have the itch to play a game very similar to this while we're all waiting for Western Legends to arrive, then I suggest "Spurs: A Tale in the Old West". It's a board game for 2-5 players that is similar to Western Legends in MANY ways. You can view info about it here (BTW, although this site says "3-5" players, the designer has published a 2 player variant): www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/149097/spurs-tale-old-west
Whoops... spoke too soon... I didn't see the earlier comment further below, same subject (Spurs)
What could be the reason to draw 1 card + $10 instead of 2 cards + $20?
It's: 2 cards or $20 or 1 card + $10
Ah, right, I mis-read it, thanks for clarification.
During poker games only the flop comes out? No turn and river?
correct, because in this game, generally start with a much bigger hand (4 or 5 cards) which emulates the extras
The man in black is actually tan?
Mark Yeah I really had to do a mental double take with that one.
He's a playing character. All playing characters are tan in this iteration of the game.
yup, it's a prototype. the final game will come with colored rubber rings to put at the bottom of bases to identify players
Need! :D very nice when can we get it in europe?
Kai Klomann Go to kickstarter site as soon as possible. Only 24 hours left!
Thanks for the Advice Mate ( or should i write partner for more western feel^^) co funded it 8 hours before the goal and got all stretch goals :D
Kai Klomann Way to go! So glad I backed it too. It looks great and will be fun. Pretty good array of kickstarter stretch goal items we picked up. Now the waiting...
I like multiple uses for cards, but theme wise it's a bit odd that you get poker cards that play actual poker, ....or you win gunfights with, ...or make you a marshal.
This seems pretty similar to Spurs
There are some similarities, but they are pretty different in execution, scoring, etc. Lots of content on the BGG and KS page
Travis R. Chance thanks travis!
Would you mind providing a link to the bgg thread that discuss this, please? I could not find any information on bgg or the kickstarter page btw that discusses the differences. Thanks.
I am saying the BGG page offers insight, as does the KS page--not a specific thread.

Am I the only one who noticed there is no “Jen”?
check faq.rahdo.com #1 :)
Hi Rahdo. I really appreciate your runthroughs, but it would be so much easier to watch your videos if you could try to not repeat yourself so much. If you say something once, that is plenty for me! I'm paying attention, and can always rewind if I miss something.
That's the way Rahdo's mind works while he is filming, man - he is constantly all over the place, firing words left and right, proposing and rejecting strategies in an instant. I can suggest to pay attention just to the final result of the actions, if you are annoyed from all the thinking process and talking :)
Damon Asher one of the reasons I really can't watch his videos. I value his opinion but his filming and runthrough is just all over the place.
My thoughts exactly, love your work Rahdo but many times im like "ok you've mentioned that already make a decision please"
@@amorbavian I gotta say this is one of the reasons i love his videos. It is giving so much more to watch this thinking process. It lets you understand the strategic struggles you will be faced with when doing a particular game. This goes far beyond just explaning the rules and makes it valuable for me. For sure, this wont be everyones style which is totally fine. But for me it gives me extra content that I do not want to miss.
