Western Legends Review - with Tom Vasel 

I wish there would be a Western Legends in the Star Wars Universe. Smuggling, hunting Bounties through the Galaxy. Visit planets that have iconic places , like Tattoine with the cantina and Jabbas Palace to get your Bounty. Smuggle for the Rebellion or do the dirty work for the Empire. Holo chess (Dejarik) instead of Poker. I know that there is Outer Rim but that's not what I have in my mind. If any one knows some one from Fantasy Flight Games let me know and send me a copy.

I just played this last night and I thought it was amazing. I try not to rate games too highly after one play but I feel like this 1 can shoot up very high on the lists

Figured that this would go over well. Looking forward to getting the KS copy.

Awesome! Looking forward to receiving this soon.

That feeling you get when you didn't back it on Kickstarter.

Should have pointed out that the component quality is really cheap, along with the box. Mine is bowing out when there has been nothing put on top of it. It's basically a $40 dollar game with a $80 price.

Rockstar could make a killing if they just slap red dead redemption on the cover

Great review, thank you Dice Tower. I'm going to get this for my friend for Christmas. This looks like it will get quite a bit of table time.

Am I the only one who saw this on South Park and said, “Please let the be a real game!”

Red Board Redemption

Gosh damn it - I skipped on this kickstarter and I love the Western genre!

So glad I backed this.

I like the components overall but they really should have made the poker shaped tokens bigger. The text on the back is nigh unreadable

One issue I’ve found with both Merchants and Marauders and Xia is that whilst the game says you can take any route to victory, almost always it seems you can’t win unless you turn Pirate/Raider etc. Basically if you just stick to buying and selling and doing odd jobs you don’t stand a chance. This isn’t a moral problem with me, just that advertising them as Sand Box games never seems to ring true. They are more like worker placement where you will basically use every action option in the game at some point. I’m concerned that this will be the same, if you don’t go outlaw at some point you’re not going to win. Particularly after Toms comment of several people claiming the outlaws “have it so much easier”.

Tom I know you really like spurs and it sounds like this game takes it to a new level

Soooooo beyond excited to play this.Probably my top anticipated game this year so far. Got a great demo at the KOLOSSAL booth at GENCON and I was even more excited to get this in. C'mon UPS! Get this to our house! I'm ready to start calling people daisies and huckleberries and all that jazz! Great review!

PHEW. Massive sigh of relief that you like it a lot. It’s been my most anticipated game of the year.

So a western version of Merchant & Marauders

Between this, Carson City and Bang! (Both card and dice game), the western themed section of my collection can be considered complete.

Enjoyed the review! I was just wondering if there was any solitaire variant or solitaire rules for this game?

Excited for my KS pledge to arrive! Such a great game to look forward to playing soon! Game of the year?

The dude on the left of the cover box looks like Zee lmao

Can't wait for this to come in the mail!

Tom said that they did a live play of this, but I can't find it, where is it?

My problem with new games is when I don't know how to play, it always helps best when you know at least one person who knows how to play

Hey Tom, what 2 out of 3 would you add on a shelf: WL, L&C, Robinson?

Wish it had a solo mode

Can't wait to receive my copy!

No mention that Zee is on the cover?

Did this video include all the Kickstarter stretch goals or is this the retail version?

Totally preordered this! Can't wait to get it 🙏🏻

Did you play with or without the expansions? Are they critical to purchase?

How do I get the Dice tower promo cards for western legends?

I heard that prospecting is OP

I want this just because I've never heard of a sandbox game.

Does the store hold sleeved cards?

thank youu

Magnificent hat!

This game borrows many elements from 'Spurs', another spaghetti western themed sandbox game from 2013. You gave Spurs an absolutely glowing review then. But as 'Western Legends' takes Spurs and steps it up a notch, has WL "fired" Spurs for you? Personally, I'm keeping both because nothing can replace the dueling mechanic that Spurs uses (racing to be the first to draw two specific bullets from a bag). That, and how the drawing bullets mechanic is used for the rest of the game is enough of a reason to keep Spurs as well as WL. But given the way you manage your collection, I imagine you'll be letting one of them go. And I'm guessing it will be Spurs.

This game is western legen.. wait for it... ds! Western legends!! 😅

pretty intrigued

Is it coming to retail?

Western Legends or Spurs? or Carson City?

How's the expansion?

Will it be out for retail?

The Wow Wow West!

How does this play as a two player game? I've seen a lot of mixed feedback regarding lower player counts. While I appreciate your energy and enthusiasm when it comes to reviews I really don't think you're providing enough feedback from your own experiences. A good review shouldn't just tell people what you liked about a game but also what you didn't like and if it had any shortcomings, something which this review really lacks.

Sounds a lot like Spurs: Tales of the Old West.

Why is this better than Spurs?

There is definitely room for a sandwich in that hat

Those figures look really close to shadow of brimstone

just too pricey if you didn't back it

This or GWT?

Interesting. BGG comments aren't very enthusiastic.

You know Trey Parker got on the kickstarter because the boys were playing this with a Priest this week on South Park #CancelSouthPark

2-6 players...come one, just write the truth, this is a 4-6 player game, with 2-3 players it`s sooo boring. It`s like palying Bang: The dice game with 3...works, but not fun.
