El Paso

About the game

What is El Paso?

Seven splendid towns “wait” to be looted by you. On each turn, you decide what target you’re aiming at. However, all of you too often get in each other’s way. The longer an outlaw stays in a town, the more stolen goods he can take with him to the next town and turn into money there. But he who takes his time could fall into the sheriff’s hands. You get rich not only if you make a fat haul, but turn it into cold cash. The one who leaves the seventh town with the most money is the bandit who can’t be beaten, and wins the game.
