Description Edit | History

Boomtown is a game with auctions, dice, and some fun and nasty action cards to play on your fellow gold diggers.

There's gold in them thar hills!

In Boomtown, you start as a gold digger and try to end as a tycoon.

To do this, you must first buy the best mining concessions, hoping to find gold veins. You can also try to become the Mayor of Whiskey River or San Narciso, in order to get a small cut on concessions sales, or build a saloon where lucky prospectors will spend their nuggets in moonshine whiskey. If business is really bad, you can still rely on bank or stagecoach hold-ups to reestablish you. A well placed stick of dynamite can also solve some minor problems.
