Dodge City

Aim of the game is to control buildings in Dodge city and thereby collect scoring disks, the first player to score 6 points wins the game. A building is controlled when a player can connect four conspicuous squares with his pieces. The rounds consist of Marshall round, first and second placing round and fight round. Each round a card is played, then new cards are drawn, after each fight round scoring happens.

The Marshall round determines a starting player for the placement round by placing a card face down, the value is determined by the kind of card. In the placement round everyone has 3 actions – play a card, buy pieces, place pieces. A player controls a building when the fighting round is over, one fights with cards, value sequence as in the marshal round, the marshal calls for a duel or concedes that right to the next player, etc. The winner may remove pieces from buildings. From controlled buildings pieces are removed, the building is marked with a disc, the owner reveices the scoring disc and twice the value in dollars.
