Bantam West - Shadow Governors Edition

Starting with nothing but sand in your pockets, you set out to make a living. Now, how you go about that is entirely up to you. Endeavor in the four natural biomes and forage, log, hunt, or mine your way to mastery. Defeat enemies that lurk in the treacherous terrain, empty their pockets, then mount their heads in the Saloon for all to see. Build Cabins on resource rich land and hire workers to harvest in your stead. Or set fire to it all and watch it burn. No matter the path you choose, there is a unique way for you to win.

The four Deadly Strangers are recoiling from their own personal tragedies, but now their troubled pasts matter not. It is up to you to step into their shoes and guide their choices. With the interlocking game mechanics and limitless pathways that form our ITS system, you can find new strategies and tell new stories each time you play. The emergent storytelling aspect of Bantam West will have you and your friends recounting tales of your daring antics for weeks after a wild play session. Remember when you slept next to a grizzly, and beat it in a “bear” knuckle brawl the next day? Or that time you won every prize at the annual Harvest Fair? If not, then it’s time for you to dive in and tell your own story!

As you progress through each game mode, additional mechanics are revealed granting you more options and strategies. The introductory mode welcomes new players and warms them up to the way of life in Gallow Springs. Once you gain your footing, the town opens up and new opportunities arise in the standard mode. When its time for you to master your skills, explore the terrain after dark in the advanced mode. If you’ve mastered it all, create custom game modes using the modular game mechanics, components, and our written guide. Bantam West is the gift that keeps on giving.

Explore this Western sandbox as you travel through an outlaw town and the wilderness, wetlands, plains, and mountains that surround it. Make demands, strike bargains, or perform impressive feats as you interact with the NPCs in town, each with their own unique personalities. Leave town and defeat the Enemy NPCs in search of the loot and resources they protect with their lives. Do this and more all while you navigate treacherous terrain, weather, fire, and random events as the board comes to life. Our ITS System, short for Immersive Tabletop Simulator, is self-contained, meaning there is no need for a Game Master. The open world is ever-changing, and you must adapt your strategy if you are to survive.
