Wild West Exodus is a tactical skirmish game set in an alternate Wild West timeline - branching off from real-life history after the American Civil War in the 1880s. It is played with 35mm miniatures and uses a system that relies on rolling 10-sided dice to determine results. Players adopt a faction (such as Union, outlaws, and native Americans) and build their forces with a pool of points dependent on the scenario played. A mechanic of the game allows players to use Influence tokens (generated by their forces) to re-roll dice. The game's objectives are dependent on the scenario played and can include killing off all your opponents' forces or having the largest force (in terms of cost) at the end of 6 turns.
