Check out Tips & Tricks for the latest from Sandlot Games, Westward:

Each Farm can support about 10 people.

Trading Posts are especially useful on maps with few resources.

A mix of Gunslingers and Deputies is more effective than one or the other alone.

Ranches use Wood and Water, but each Citizen working there produces more Food than a Citizen at a Farm.

When a character is selected, if you hold down the Shift key and then left-click on the map, the character will move to that location.

Focusing all your lawmen on a single Bandit at a time wins battles quickly.

Exploring as much of the map as possible is always a good idea.

Many advanced buildings bring Gold into your town.

Pressing the “TAB” key will cycle through all the units that you control

Combat units will not fight while moving.

Your combat units will automatically begin firing at bandits when in range.

Bandits will only follow you so far until they give up.

If a bandit is attacking one of your combat units and another of your combat units is in range they will automatically start attacking the bandit.

Trading posts are great for buying much needed food during a drought or famine.

Many buildings drop wood, food, or gold when destroyed.

You can scroll the view using the arrow keys.

Click and drag the left mouse button to lasso-select a group of characters.

Visit Trading Posts to exchange one kind of resource for another.

Only Citizens can take jobs at your buildings.

You need at least one Ranch before you can build a Sheriff’s Office.

A Settler or Citizen has to walk to a construction site to build most buildings.

A Plague can wipe out your entire Food supply, but does not affect production.

Drought will slow the rate at which your town gathers Water.

Famine dramatically slows the rate at which Food is harvested.

Unlike Lumber Camps, Lumber Mills can gather Wood from any forested area.

Sheriffs and Deputies can throw Drunks in jail to sober them up.

Drunks will reform if they are taken to a Church.

Water Towers are more expensive than Wells, but hold a lot more Water.

You don’t need to provide Food, Water or housing for Gunslingers.

Lasso-selecting a character will usually stop them in their tracks.

Coldfire Keep Review
By Andy Chalk
The town of Newsettle needs your help! There's evil around every corner (careful not to step in any) and it's up to you and your stalwart band of newbie adventurers to delve into the depths of Coldfire Keep, uncover the source of the trouble, and put an end to it once and for all!A brief history lesson before we get going: The "dungeon crawler" is a type of first-person RPG, solo or party-based, with a focus on exploration, puzzle solving, collecting loot, and copious amounts of combat with a host of inhuman ne'er-do-wells. They were particularly popular in the 80s and early 90s, but by the mid-90s the genre had fallen out of mainstream gamer consciousness. In recent years, however, it's enjoyed something of a resurgence, driven largely by the 2012 indie hit Legend of Grimrock. (I delivered the same sermon in the lead-in to that review too, by the way. I like to keep readers informed.)Now along comes Coldfire Keep, and if you've ever wished that you could go digitally spelunking on your bus ride to work, I have good news: There are some rough edges, but in most of the ways that matter, this is a game that gets it right.Coldfire Keep follows four inexperienced adventurers as they investigate strange happenings in the ancient castle that lies just outside of town. In fine dungeon crawler fashion, that's the extent of the setup: Some monsters busted up the place and you're going to look into it because nobody else will. The tale gets a little deeper as you progress through the catacombs but it's perfunctory stuff, and the truth is that, much like climbing a mountain, you're diving deeper into the dungeon for no better reason than because it's there.

Labyrinth Review
By Lisa Cowdell
When I was a kid growing up in the 60's and 70's, we didn't have video games to keep us entertained. Instead, we played hide n' seek or freeze tag, and card games and board games when we couldn't go outside. My dad loved "coffee table" games that were not only attractive (they were usually constructed out of wood and polished steel) but also fun and challenging. I remember playing Labyrinth for hours, trying to navigate the little steel ball into the "goal" at the end without letting the ball fall into one of the trap holes.
