I wish there would be a Western Legends in the Star Wars Universe. Smuggling, hunting Bounties through the Galaxy. Visit planets that have iconic places , like Tattoine with the cantina and Jabbas Palace to get your Bounty. Smuggle for the Rebellion or do the dirty work for the Empire. Holo chess (Dejarik) instead of Poker. I know that there is Outer Rim but that's not what I have in my mind. If any one knows some one from Fantasy Flight Games let me know and send me a copy.

That's a great idea! The closest thing I can think of is Xia: Legends of Drift System. You might want to consider checking it out. It's got smuggling, hunting bounties, but no rebellion vs empire stuff

Should have pointed out that the component quality is really cheap, along with the box. Mine is bowing out when there has been nothing put on top of it. It's basically a $40 dollar game with a $80 price.

One issue I’ve found with both Merchants and Marauders and Xia is that whilst the game says you can take any route to victory, almost always it seems you can’t win unless you turn Pirate/Raider etc. Basically if you just stick to buying and selling and doing odd jobs you don’t stand a chance. This isn’t a moral problem with me, just that advertising them as Sand Box games never seems to ring true. They are more like worker placement where you will basically use every action option in the game at some point. I’m concerned that this will be the same, if you don’t go outlaw at some point you’re not going to win. Particularly after Toms comment of several people claiming the outlaws “have it so much easier”.

I've been going back to watch the reviews to see if anyone is commenting on this problem. My friends and I have stumbled into a points feedback loop where (with a combo the hat gives you) you can gamble at the Saloon, get points, trade your money for points at the Cabaret, and crank out a win in just a handful of turns. The only solution we've discovered is for everyone to gamble or possibly spend all their time trying to rob the gambler. We still love the game, but are a bit bothered by how clear this exploit is.

This game borrows many elements from 'Spurs', another spaghetti western themed sandbox game from 2013. You gave Spurs an absolutely glowing review then. But as 'Western Legends' takes Spurs and steps it up a notch, has WL "fired" Spurs for you? Personally, I'm keeping both because nothing can replace the dueling mechanic that Spurs uses (racing to be the first to draw two specific bullets from a bag). That, and how the drawing bullets mechanic is used for the rest of the game is enough of a reason to keep Spurs as well as WL. But given the way you manage your collection, I imagine you'll be letting one of them go. And I'm guessing it will be Spurs.

@andrebrynkus2055 5 жыл бұрын
I'm worried about Spurs still getting played. It's one of my favourite games. A friend bought the game for my birthday as I love sandbox games and western games. If only there was some way to keep the bullets, the duels, and the mini board for cattle wrangling and horse breaking.

How does this play as a two player game? I've seen a lot of mixed feedback regarding lower player counts. While I appreciate your energy and enthusiasm when it comes to reviews I really don't think you're providing enough feedback from your own experiences. A good review shouldn't just tell people what you liked about a game but also what you didn't like and if it had any shortcomings, something which this review really lacks.
