Description

Villin Lännen Poppamies (Finnish for "The Medicine Man of the Wild West") is played on a map of North America. It is similar to the classic Finnish game "Afrikan Tähti" but here the objective is to find the token for the Medicine Man on the map and deliver him back to Washington (from where all players start) to win the game. The players travel on the roads/waterways between cities where they flip tokens to reveal indians or military/settlers. The game uses rifles as its currency, to protect the players from hostile indian tokens flipped over or to pay tolls for crossing borders or using waterways. This seems to be a rare Fenno-Alga game in that it has no Swedish counterpart.
