Overview

Players buy deeds in a Western Town and defend their property with their guns. Hire a gunfighter to do your dirty work for you (if you have the money), otherwise you'll get called out into the street. A 3D board with a unique mechanism for resolving gunfights is the center of play. A rotating underlay moves beneath a player's (or hired gun's) token. In the underlay are die-cut holes, so when it rotates under your token it falls down... and you lose the fight. Last man standing is the winner.
