About the Game

Card Cowboy is a silly adventure about getting Revenge against the guy that killed your dad, wooed your mom, and kicked your dog. You'll meet babies, bandits, drunks, and romantic interests then use the cards you're dealt to make your way through The Wild West.

NOTE: Card Cowboy is short but sweet, with each playthrough taking around 30 minutes.

Rest assured there's lots of love crammed in, with full Voice Over for more than 350 hand authored lines and many millions more procedural ones, all voiced by the talented Max Hudetz. To get the full experience, you'll want to play through several times to hunt for cards and achievements we've scattered across the West.

The Periodic Table Of Cowboys


When you really break it down, there's not much to cowboy culture beyond Gun, Money, Horse, Whiskey, and Lassos right? No no shut up, we did the math. Don't worry about it. Come on in and check out our adventure / card game shaped concept mapping of Cowboys.

A New Revenge Story Every Time


Every surprise you'll find in the west can be responded to with any of 50+ cards, which means you'll want to try out a few different routes. Each adventure is as unique and memorable as you are creative with your choices. Save a Bandit with a Whiskey, cheat at poker with your Wife, or charm the bar with riveting story about the last time you had Dysentery.
