Cactus Town: Stampede is an expansion for Cactus Town released in 2022 for 2–5 players, 20–60 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Raúl Luque Torner and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Grid Movement.
This expansion introduces another new asymmetric party to Cactus Town: The Cowboys and their herd of cows. In the mix of Spaghetti Western parties, the cowboys don't want to stay behind. And they are not alone, they have brought their cattle with them. This is the craziest of all factions, the cowboys need to steer their herd through Cactus Town, guiding the lifestock to the cattle train waiting at the other side of town. On their way, the herd will create stampedes, with the cows taking on anyone who stands in their way. Chain reactions are possible and no one is safe from the beasts. But then again, maybe you don't want to, because their movement effect might help you in your own objectives. —description from the publisher
