Pioneers in Peril

Pioneers in Peril

2026

2 - 4 players
120 - 150 min
Heavy weight: Expect a long teach

From BoardGameGeek

Deadwood Game's first board game is a 4X game set in the American West. Each player's objective is to gain a set number of Pioneer Points, or have the last Pioneer standing. Welcome to Peril, USA. You've spent almost all your earnings to get here. Now it's time to explore the frontier, learn new skills, find resources, and start a family. The only problem? Living this far west of the Mississippi comes with many dangers. Death is not uncommon in these parts, and neither is famine, animal attacks, or getting held up at gunpoint. The worst part? Your neighbor is as trustworthy as the Bandit. In order to survive, you must claim land, build, process resources, expand your family, and TAKE RISKS in order to survive. Don't forget, you need to be quick on the draw or you'll end up being just another plot on the Boot Hill in these parts.
