Description

Deadwood Studios USA casts players as struggling actors on a cheesy Western backlot. Your actor is a six‑sided die whose exposed pip value shows your current status in Hollywood s pecking order. Each day you roam the studio s sound stages, snapping up bit parts like Crying Woman or Man Falling Off Roof. When you land a role you may act (roll a die to hit the scene s target) or rehearse (bank a bonus to improve later rolls). Success earns cash and fame, which can be spent at the Casting Office to upgrade your status die—unlocking juicier roles such as Stagecoach Driver or the prestigious Rear End of Horse. After the final scenes wrap, add your money, fame, and status points; the highest total crowns the top star of Deadwood Studios.
