Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management
This mechanic usually requires players to pick up an item or good at one location on the playing board and bring it to another location on the playing board. Initial placement of the item can be either predetermined or random. The delivery of the good usually gives the player money to do more actions with. In most cases, there is a game rule or another mechanic that determines where the item needs to go.
Pick-up and Deliver
Maneuvers that directly attack an opposing player's strength, level, life points or do something else to impede their progress.
Take That
Variable Player Powers is a mechanic that grants different abilities and/or paths to victory to the players.

2. Kopie vorbestellt bei der Spieleoffensive, in der hoffentlich die Token mittig aufgedruckt sind. Sonst umtauschen!!! (Mäßig erfolgreich)

The train was just running around... The extra gambling option was hardly used... The one lucky guy that started in the new area could grab a whoooole lot of stuff before the others were noticing...

Western Legends is one of my favorite games because it does an incredible job of capturing the grit of the Wild West with theming that rivals just about anything out there. So, the expansion was a given for me...just take my money (or gold nuggets if I'm being honest about how much I've sunk into this series). As for the expansion itself, there is a LOT of new stuff and it's not just more of the same but pretty intuitive to incorporate. The frontier actions seem pretty easy to accomplish with powerful rewards. The new saloon game, Faro, is straight forward and simplistic (though very popular back then) and really the only reason to pursue the gambler track (winning poker offers the option of 1 LP or moving on the gambler track but you're almost always going to choose the former). Robbing the train feels like a great option to add but can be difficult with underwhelming rewards. We find that in a 2 player game, there may be less player interaction with board dilution but the abundance of new tokens increase your odds of fighting a NPC. New characters are always great (especially Seth Bullock) and the longhorns are another fun option. I do have some criticisms, mostly regarding production. Foremost, the rule book and cards are ABSOLUTELY RIDDLED with omissions, spelling and grammatical errors - a simple proofreading could have caught 99% of these. That's VERY disappointing! The card quality is noticeably flimsier. Pretty minor but the new, narrow board art does not match up well with the gun on the original. High rollers are very tough to beat and their rewards rarely worth pursuing. There are also many situations that simply aren't clarified in the rule book - e.g., do you still draw a poker card when initiating a game against a high roller (the answer is yes but you won't find it in the rule book)? Lastly, the assembled trading post won't fit in the box which is a shame. Overall I'm glad I got it. Production quality and attention to detail aren't up to the original standards but the added gameplay make it something to consider if you're a fan of the original.
