Description

Revolver is a card game set in the Old West where two players engage in a life or death struggle. One player takes on the role of Colonel Ned McReady and his lawmen, while the other controls the notorious Colty gang. The game features two balanced 62-card decks with unique cards and abilities, allowing players to manage their deck effectively to win. The Colty gang has a range of weaponry at their disposal, while the Colonel's team can use cards like Buffalo Stampede and Rattlesnake Bite to take them down. The game is played over five consecutive gunfights, with the Colonel aiming to eliminate all gang members before they escape across the Mexican border. With simple yet strategic gameplay, Revolver requires players to make tricky decisions and manage their resources carefully. The game's asymmetrical design and moderate in-game text add to its complexity, making it a challenging and exciting experience for players.
