About the Game

Take aim on this fast-paced card game of gunslingers and gamblers, bullets and bad blood, posses and Pinkertons . . . Loaded with 4 card decks, each of them offering you would-be gunfighters a chance for fame and fortune...or a very short career.

A beer and pretzels game of outlaw gangs in the Old West. The players control gangs of outlaws formed with cards drawn from the gunslinger deck. The object is to be the first gang to amass a specified dollar amount by pulling off successful bank robberies. Gunfights are resolved quickly by comparing the leather slapping ratings of the combatants.
