Description Edit | History

Carson City is a strategic game. The game is played in 4 rounds and in each one of them the players choose a character (there are 7 available) that gives certain advantages, after that cowboys are placed on action fields on the board to build Carson city. Players can claim ground, erect special buildings, houses or construct roads. When there are several players on 1 action field, a duel is fought. During play, money (to construct) & points can be earned. The player who earns most points wins the game.

13 Carson City: Turn Order and Actions Summary
V1.0. This player aid contain the summary of the turn order and all of the 14 action squares. Game setup is not included. - Work done by "dtroy_de_rapcore", and inspired by "cichildhead". - Note that this sheet is done as simple as possible. Therefore, actual explanation is still greatly required. This sheet was made to only assist the non-gamers for them to refer while playing. - I recommend this to be printed on half the size of an A4 paper as it's the ideal size in my opinion(readable and easy to view). You can do this by using the option "Page Scaling: Booklet Printing" on Adobe Reader Print option. - Also, I highly recommend you to print or combine this player aid with the building summary. Right now I'm using the "Carson City Building Player Aide" by "PManoff". I glued them...
