Es un juego que engaña por su estética y temática, ya que es más sesudo de lo que parece

Juego de mayorías ambientado en el viejo oeste con tribus de indios que pueden dominar colinas, con sus bisontes, montañas, con sus pavos, o ríos con sus salmones. PAra mí este juego fue todo un descubrimiento. Lo añadí a mi colección tras las CLBSK Abril 2010. Adquirido en alemán a CSI-badajoz, por 5€. Lo cambié en la mathtrade de la BSK, Invierno 2014, en Febrero y fue para Tallarad.
