📖 About This Game
For decades the Blanco family has run the town of San Luis on the New Mexico border. So, they didn’t take to kindly to John Bannon when he rode into town and made himself the sheriff. Soon the silver mines, saloons and stage-coach were all working for him. Tensions between the Blancos and Bannon were boiling over when a quiet stranger with a wicked gun rode into town. Who will win control of San Luis?
The mini-campaign is loosely based on the film "A Fistful of Dollars" and is structured in quick “acts” that could be played in a single evening.
Both sides face decisions that allow for a great deal of replay value and let the players write their own story in the West....
Players choose their own adventure with one side picking the scenario and the other choosing the set up.
There are a possible 27 different battles that can be played.
The mini-campaign will consist of three of these gunfights.
RUTHLESS, a complete set of western gunfight rules, is also included!
This booklet has everything you need to play!
