Product Description
Theme : Boomtown is a game of the Wild West and the search for gold. You start the game of Boomtown as a gold digger and are working towards becoming a tycoon through the use of auctions, dice rolls and direct actions cards against other players.
Gameplay : Boomtown is a simple, straightforward card game that is great fun. Each turn in Boomtown is divided into three parts - auction, selection and production.
Each turn, a number of cards are turned up on the table equal to the number of players. Players then take turns during the auction phase to bid to be the first to select from the deck. Bidding continues; with a pass placing a player out of the bidding process for that turn, until there is a final bidder.
The final bidder then passes his gold to the player on his left who keeps half of this gold. He then passes the remainder to the player on his left, with this continuing until the winning bidder.
There are two types of cards in the game - mine cards and special cards. Mine cards provide gold on the dice rolls during production (each mine having a number between 2 to 12) and victory points (equal to the amount of gold produced). Additionally, each mine has a different colour that provides a mayor who adds victory points to the player at the end of the game and income whenever another player chooses a mine of that colour.
The game ends when the entire deck is used up (60 cards) and the player with the most victory points (counted from mine cards, mayors controlled and gold wins Boomtown.
