Hands up Pardner, FFG Announces Deadwood

Fantasy Flight Games has announced the upcoming realease of the Deadwood board game.  For 2-5 players, Deadwood has no relation to the town or tv show of the same name.  It is in fact a old west worker placement game with a little gunfighting thrown in to spice things up. 

MSRP will be $34.95 and expected release will be in the 3rd quarter of 2011.

Here’s what FFG has to say about the game:

Once upon a time in the wildest town in the west…

…the railroad came to the shanty-town of Deadwood. Its folk have noticed an influx of settlers coming into town, but these ain’t tourists. You and your gang are looking to call Deadwood home; with the railroad comes cold, hard cash. But you don’t mean to share any money with other arriving gangs. As a cowboy on the wrong side of the law you know just the solution: threaten, fight, and kill off your rivals.

Prepare to enter a world where the quickest way to solve your problems is with a bullet.

Deadwood is a wild and wooly board game for 2-5 players with a quick and deadly twist on classic worker placement games. Control a gang of cowboys, using them to take control of Deadwood’s businesses, and collect as much money as they can. The player with the most cash at the end of the game is the winner…if you’re not dead first.

In the reckless and exciting game of Deadwood, there’s no room to be cowardly if you’re looking to cash in.

Deadwood includes:

• Rulebook
• 1 Game board
• Over 150 tokens
• 8 black “outlaw” dice
• 26 unique building tiles
