About the game
The only thing worse than acting at Deadwood Studios, debasing yourself for a tiny paycheck by playing such memorable roles as "Man on Fire", is having to go somewhere else to do it. If the gig at Deadwood Studios wasn't bad enough, now you're working "on location" Deadwood: On Location is a set of new boards for the Deadwood game, representing six different sets and the bus stops that connect them. You'll need the rules from Deadwood to play, as well as those cards. On Location is also compatible with the four "Another Day, Another Dollar" card expansions.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Deadwood: On Location is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Deadwood: On Location for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
