Reviews

“What we have in Governer of the West, then, is a marriage of Red Dead Redemption and Civilization. And I'm sorry, but if that doesn't sound absolutely perfect to you then we can't be friends.”
Gaming Bible

“Governor of the West is a clever, strategically satisfying board-game-type title that is good for killing ten to twenty minutes fast.”

About This Game

Governor of the West is a turn-based game of exploration, resource management, and outlaw placement set in the Old West. Choose a starting character, explore the West, recruit your gang, build up your town, and maybe -- if you play your cards right -- become the Governor!



  • Unlock Legendary Outlaws - Recruit from a motley crew of renegades, thieves, and outlaws. Each character has their own strengths and weakness, so you'll have to adapt your strategy based on who you find!
  • Explore The West - Different settlements, resources, and wildlife populate the procedurally-generated map on which you'll find yourself. Every game is different, and success is not guaranteed.



  • Race Against Time - You'll arrive in the West young & healthy, but time is not on your side. Keep a watch on your age, and make sure not to let your youth go to waste!
  • Manage Your Resources - Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was Reno. Put your gang to work collecting supplies and gold, and use those resources to build the settlement you'll need to succeed.
  • Become The Governor - Become feared across the West by building up your dread, then fight your way to victory by seizing power - or become famous and win an election the old fashioned way.



  • Each playthrough is unique! Start afresh with a procedurally-generated map, a rotating cast of starting characters, and different starting perks to customize how you want to win the West.
  • No one true path to glory! Different characters and starting perks combine to make different paths to victory viable. Explore and build up your dread by living off the land, or recruit a dozen settlers and build a town that can sustain your gubernatorial ambition!
