Old Town

About the game

What is Old Town?

In Old Town, the players are trying to recreate an old ghost town as it looked in the late 19th Century. Remnants of the town are still visible, but where exactly had the Saloon been located? The players must try to collect all available information about the 19 building sites and see whether they can complete the puzzle. A few surviving gold diggers are around to contribute information, but their memories aren't always reliable! This was, originally a desk top published game designed by Stephan Riedel. If you like problem solving games then this game could be for you.
