Get to Know the Unique Personalities of Carson City!
Each personality tile in Carson City represents a fascinating character with two distinct powers. On one side, you’ll find their common abilities denoted by the yellow color. And on the other side, the red color signifies their variant powers, adding an exciting twist to the game.
When you’re starting out, we suggest using the yellow side of the personality tiles. It’s a great way to get familiar with the game mechanics and enjoy a balanced experience. But don’t worry, as you progress, you’ll have the freedom to choose which personalities to play with in future games. You can either randomly select them or let the players decide.
The Sheriff
When you play as the sheriff, something special happens. You get a unique cowboy from the general reserve called the “sheriff.” The sheriff is a white cowboy who can perform one action without fear of being attacked. No one dares to challenge the sheriff to a duel!
But here’s the catch – you can’t use the sheriff to attack a building or challenge someone to a duel. The white cowboy must be placed on a square without any cowboys. You can use the sheriff strategically to protect yourself or make a move without worrying about retaliation. Just remember, the sheriff has a cash limit of $20.
Variant: If you want an extra challenge, you can choose the variant where the sheriff is not allowed to attack any buildings or engage in duels, except for self-defense. If you lose a duel, you still get 3 victory points. But be careful! The sheriff’s cash limit remains at $20.
The Banker – A Trusted Companion for your Fortune
Hey there! When you pick me as your banker, I’ll put some serious cash in your pocket right away – a cool $9, to be exact. And let me tell you, I’ve got your spending needs covered with a generous cash limit of $120. It’s like having a money tree in your backyard!
But wait, there’s more! I’ve got a little trick up my sleeve called the “Variant” option. If you’re feeling ambitious before your turn ends, you can splurge on some victory points. For a small fee of $3, you can grab yourself 3 points. Want to go bigger? How about 5 points for $12? And if you’re really going for the gold, you can snag a whopping 7 points for $25. The choice is yours!
But be mindful of your budget – the cash limit for this variant is capped at a still-impressive $60. So, feel free to dream big, but don’t break the bank!

- If I focus on one specific type of building, like banks, I can double their income during the estate income phase. But remember, if a building with double income gets attacked, both the attacker and I will get normal income.
- Alternatively, I can choose to receive $8 right away or during the estate income phase. There’s a cash limit of $60. Or I can get $8 immediately or earn 1 victory point for each house I own at the end of the turn, except for ranches, hotels, and churches. The same cash limit of $60 applies.
The Chinese Coolie
When you pick the Chinese coolie, you instantly get two roads. Plus, the cost of any building is cut in half (rounded up). Remember, there’s a cash limit of $30.
Variant: If you pay $5, you can choose one of the buildings that are up for grabs. You can either build it right away, or save it for later. The other buildings become cheaper right away, and a new building is randomly picked. Just remember, you can’t spend more than $30.

Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can wait until the end of your turn. At that point, you’ll receive $1 for each mountain you own. How cool is that?
Now, keep in mind that this variant does come with a cash limit of $20. But hey, who said being a settler was easy? It’s all about taking risks and making those tough decisions.
So, are you ready to embark on this journey as a settler? The land is waiting for you, and it’s filled with opportunities. Don’t miss out! Grab your parcel, make your mark, and let the adventure begin!

The Captain: A Trusty Friend on the Ranch
When I play the game, there’s someone I can rely on – the captain. They have a special ability that can help me out in sticky situations. Let me tell you all about it.
So, here’s the deal. If I’m in need of some extra cowboys, the captain has my back. I can pay a small fee of $1 and get one extra cowboy from the general reserve. It’s like having an extra pair of hands to round up those cattle!
But wait, there’s more. If I really need reinforcements, I can go all out and pay $4 to get not just one, but two extra cowboys from the general reserve. That’s doubling my workforce in an instant! It’s a bit pricier, but sometimes you’ve gotta invest to get ahead.
And if that’s not enough, I can go big or go home. For a fee of $9, I can recruit three extra cowboys from the general reserve. It’s like assembling my own cowboy army! With more boots on the ground, I’ll be able to cover more ground and bring in those cattle faster than ever.
Of course, there’s a limit to how much cash I can spend on these reinforcements. I can’t go crazy and bankrupt myself. The captain keeps me in check with a cash limit of $25. So I have to be strategic and make sure I spend my money wisely.
Now, there’s a variant to the captain’s ability that spices things up even more. Instead of extra cowboys, I can choose to pay $3 and receive a revolver tile. This special tile gives me an advantage in the game, and I get to keep it until the end. It’s like having a trusty sidearm in my holster, ready to take on any challenges that come my way.
But wait, there’s more (again)! If I’m feeling extra bold, I can pay $9 and receive not just one, but two revolver tiles. That’s double the firepower! It’s like being the fastest gun in the Wild West.
Just like with the cowboys, there’s a limit on how much cash I can spend on these revolvers. The captain keeps me in check with a cash limit of $20. I have to be smart with my money and decide if the extra firepower is worth the investment.
So there you have it, the captain’s special ability in a nutshell. They’re like a trusty friend on the ranch, always ready to lend a helping hand. Whether it’s rounding up more cowboys or equipping me with powerful revolvers, the captain is an essential part of my winning strategy.
