Light, quick game set in the American "wild west." Players explore various Location cards with the potential for gold. Then they set up their tokens on those Locations, which give a chance for payoff on that card. Each turn, a "prospecting roll" is made which allows one of the locations to pay out the next lode. Along the way, players may use Drifter cards to help them, which each break a rule of the game. The player with the most money at the end of the game wins.
FYI, reviews mention that the player needs to provide tokens, a die, and (hopefully play) money. Shouldn't be a problem to scrape those together, but think people should be aware of it before opening the box.
This is exactly the type of game I look for on Tanga. Good reviews. Small publisher. Good price. A game that looks like it has quick play and a good theme.
Should go well on a Wild West night as an into to Silverton or paired with Boomtown.

The Mother Lode of Sticky Gulch...I think that I saw a movie with that title once, and that movie starred a young man by the name of Ron Jeremy.
