Wild West Rush is a racing game where the players are characters from the Old West. Each character has a special ability that gives him/her an advantage during the game and the objective of the game is to be the first player to complete two laps around the board. The players roll the dice and move forward the number of squares indicated by the value of the dice. When they land on a trapped square, the players must fulfil the consequence of the square. The players decide when they want to use their special ability, as long as they do so on their turn and before they roll the dice, and furthermore, the players can only use their special ability once during the entire game. —description from the publisher
