In the Golden River area in the Wild West, tensions are on the rise during the Gold Rush. Leading local figures are seeing their interests threatened. They need protection! Meanwhile, members of the seven most wanted bands meet up in the saloon to stake their claims. In Wanted 7 play cards to recruit the best gunfighters over four rounds of beer or whisky. Bid for free gunfighters or outbid your opponents. Buy a round of beer or whisky, aim your gun or play card tricks to wrest gunfighters from your opponents! In each round, you’ll score protection and collect gunfighters to keep you safe for the final showdown at the end of the game.
Wanted 7 supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 Wanted 7 is 20–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Wanted 7 for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
