Wagon Wheels
Wagon Wheels Rulebook
Table of Contents
Setup
Set the 3 black tokens (house icon), 5 grey tokens (revolver icon), and 7 red tokens (bull icon) to the side.
The board has 14 spaces, divided by fence posts: 4 each in the North Forest and South Desert, and 3 each in the East River and West Mountains. Each quadrant has a scoring goal associated with 3 adjacent spaces. The East and West also have a star region with 1 space each.
Gameplay
On a turn, spend 2 action points (AP) on the following actions:
- 1 AP: Move 2 adjacent tokens any distance around the board through empty spaces.
- 1 AP: Move any 1 token to an empty space.
- 1 AP: Add a red token (bull icon) in any empty space.
- 2 AP: Add a black token (house icon) or a grey token (revolver icon) to any space.
You may not reverse a movement made on the opponent's previous turn.
When adding a token, you must place it in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd empty space clockwise of the last placed token.
The game ends when there are no remaining empty spaces. The player with the majority of tokens for each corner space scores points (wagon wheel icon) based on that goal.
If one player controls both the East and West star spaces, they score 2 wagon wheel points extra, and 1 additional wagon wheel point if both tokens are the same type.
Finally, earn points for your tokens:
| # | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red (bull icon) | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 7 |
| Grey (revolver icon) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 8 | ||
| Black (house icon) | 1 | 3 | 6 |
