The six bandits in Western Town certainly did not choose a “bad bank” for their robbery. So Lisbeth Bos sends Larry Lasso and his friends after them and they don’t show mercy. The Desperados won’t get far – they’ve left too many footprints in the sand of the market place. Here two to four eager deputies are waiting for them. Just well: Four jailhouses provide space enough for failed bank robbers.

But wait – before young deputies (ages 5 and up) can send the safecrackers to prison, they have to prove their lasso skills first. Larry Lasso and his fellows try and catch the bandits by rope. Be careful: Not all crooks bring in the same reward. The deputy, who is able to control hunting fever and hit the mark, just pulls their captive from the town centre to one of the prisons at the edge of the board. The wild Lasso hunt continues until all bank robbers are under lock and key. Only then deputy sheriffs get their reward. As Larry Lasso and his fellow players do not work for justice alone – they are waiting for their bounty! And their reward is paid cash each round.

The first player to earn 15 Western Dollars wins the game and applies for the sheriff’s job in Western Town. "Larry Lasso" is a quick and entertaining dexterity game for children and parents alike. The game is available for app. Euros 27.
