About the game

What is Black Hills

Description from the publisher:

1876 — the Gold Rush is rising up and the Wild West is full of adventurers, golddiggers and all kind of characters looking for the gold piece that will change their lives. The city of Black Hills is right in the middle of this struggle, and a tough mayor is needed to put things in their place.

Black Hills is a resource management game for 2-4 players in which they need to accumulate resources to exchange them for status points. The first player to obtain five status points is appointed as the brand new mayor of Black Hills and wins.

The game has three different resources: wood, gold pieces and leather. In every round, each player chooses two character cards from the four cards they receive. There are 16 character cards between cowboys, settlers and indians; each character has its own ability and should be placed in one of four locations: woods, plains, city or the jail. Depending on the character and the locations, players acquire different resources or can invest their previously amassed goods in the city in exchange for status points.
