The Sheriff

The player helped by the sheriff gets the special "sheriff " cowboy from the general reserve (white cowboy). This allows him to select one action without fear of being attacked (no one challenges the sheriff to a duel). Therefore, the white cowboy must not be placed to attack a building or to challenge someone into a duel (it must be played on a cowboy-free square). Cash limit: $20. …

Additional City Plans

These goals can be added to the basic version. The same rules apply to them.

List Of Objectives:

To fulfill this City Plan, all houses must be built on the required street.

To fulfill this City Plan, the first and last house of each street must be built.

To fulfill this City Plan, all of the parks AND all of the pools on the required street must be built.

To fulfill this City Plan, 7 temps must be hired. …

Decor

When you take a decor card from the game board, you place its corresponding token on one of your rooms.

You must place the token on a room that does not already have a decor token and matches the room type indicated on the decor card, and then discard the card. When a decor token is placed on a room card, that room is finished and cannot be expanded further.

A room (meaning the entire room, which could be a single room card or possibly multiple cards side-by-side) can have at most one decor token. A decor token cannot be placed on an empty room (a facedown room card). …

Asgard

In Asgard, the Gods fight the Enemies and try to make them move backward. That is the main plot of the game.

The Enemies' combat force varies according to the area where they are located.

Combat

• Choose your opponent among the six Enemies or the Giants.

• Place a number of Vikings of your choice from your own stock (it is possible to place no Viking at all) on the World of the Dead .

• Roll the die.

• Add the number of hammer icons rolled to the number of discarded Vikings. …

• For a shorter game, after you've built the Event deck remove any number of Event cards from the top of the deck and place them back in the box without viewing them.

  The more Event cards you remove, the shorter the game will be. You also won't know how many of each card is available in the game. Another way to shorten the game is to use a 30-second timer. …
