About the Game

Join your friends to settle your differences... Cowboy style.

This town ain't big enough for the 3-12 of us

3-12 players are each given a random ability, and a number of secret objectives. You must use cunning and strategy to complete your objectives, and make sure your opponents don't! Remember: there can only be one winner! Decide your next targets in secret during the planning phase, then watch the chaos unfold in the execution phase.

Mexican Standoff

A situation where any wrong move could mean defeat - you must negotiate your way out of this one! Form truces, make promises, lie, break promises. Anything goes*, as long as it takes you closer to your goal! The winner of the round gets to take home a whole point to put on the leaderboard, while the losers get nothing.

More than a fistfull

Guns aren't your only weapon - with over 10 roles with unique abilities you'll have no shortage of options, from the Clairvoyant who can see the future, to the Gentleman who can save others, but not himself. Your objectives for each round are randomly generated, so no two games play the same!
