Django Wanted: Wild West Skirmish Rules 2025

The sun beats down on tin roofs. A saloon door creaks. Somewhere, a dog barks. Then nothing. The silence of high noon...

Django Wanted is a skirmish game set in the Wild West, designed to capture the tension and brutality of classic western showdowns. Whether you're introducing friends to miniature wargaming or looking for a fast-paced alternative to more complex rulesets, Django Wanted delivers intense gunfights in under an hour. Why Django Wanted?

Simple to Learn, Hard to Master No hit points. No endless modifiers. A well-placed bullet sends a man to the ground — the next one finishes him off. New players grasp the rules in minutes, but the tactical depth keeps experienced gamers engaged.

The Bloodlust Mechanic Kill an enemy and you activate again. Immediately. Chain eliminations to turn a desperate last stand into a legendary comeback. Every activation matters. Every risk could pay off — or end in disaster.

Six Distinct Archetypes Build your gang from six character types, each with unique strengths:

Sharpshooter – Patient and deadly at range Gunslinger – Lightning-fast on the draw Bounty Hunter – Ruthless in close combat Scout – Elusive and hard to pin down Outlaw – A brutal brawler who never backs down Desperado – Survives on instinct and sheer luck

45-60 Minute Games Long enough for stories to emerge, short enough to play multiple rounds in an evening or fit into a club night.

7 Ready-to-Play Scenarios From bank heists to hangings, manhunts to train robberies — the rulebook includes scenario ideas to get you started right away. What's Included?
