The feel of it

Why it lands at the table

Cactus Town is an asymmetric family game set in a Western town of modular tiles. Each faction wants something different: bandits, sheriffs, gold seekers.

Players programme three actions and reveal them in reverse order, so the fun is in anticipating where the others will be.

Twenty to sixty minutes.
