Pony Express*
You have your horse, trusty pistol, and a brand new hat, but most importantly, you have a package of letters that must reach Sacramento before any other riders in the Pony Express! No one will stop you in your quest for speed and victory, not the lurking Indians nor the charming saloon girls trying to steal your gold.
Be the first to grab gold from the mines, duel your opponents in wild shootouts, or beat them at the poker table. Use your wits, bluffing skills, and gear to clear the way to Sacramento and deliver your valuable letters. This is a racing game with poker dice, where you use the dice to generate poker hands for movement and in duels. The rolled poker hands determine how many spaces you can advance from St. Joseph to Sacramento, with opportunities to bluff along the way. It’s a mix of luck, bluffing, and skill.
