Description Edit | History

THE COWBOYS is our game of the Old West. 2 - 10 Cowboys (players) shoot it out in 10 - 60+ minutes. The game features stand-up Cowboy Counters artistically designed with full color artwork by Gary S. Zaboly. There are 26 Historical and Hollywood style scenarios in the game. Six double-sided geomorphic mapboards create the battlegrounds of the Old West.

The game rules allow you to pick up and play the game in minutes. The optional rules add chrome but still keeps the game very playable. The "Old West" personalities are there; Wyatt, Doc, Jesse, Billy, and many other legends of the Wild West. Some of the variables include town folk,horses, etc.

Bank robberies, cattle rustling, stagecoach holdups, jail breaks, lynch mobs, and many other western actions are depicted. It pits opposing sides against each other, bringing to life the daring and dastardly deeds of heroes and villains when the way of the gun ruled the day. Included are the lawmen, gunfighters, gamblers, and ne'er do wells who knew how to handle themselves during a gunfight. Also the town folk will show up to add a much needed gun to the fight.

Every person has dreamed of being the cowboy standing in the middle of street, alone, staring down your enemy, fingers twitching by the side of your gun belt, looking for the flinch in your adversaries face that will unleash blazing steel from your side...now is your chance...but watch your back!

Game includes hard mounted geomorphic map boards, counters, stand-up cowboy counters, plastic bases, dice, box, rules, scenario book, cards, and other game play materials.

4 Cowboys variable turn order cards
Here's a set of cards that can be used with the variable turn order rules. Just print, sleeve and play. There is also one additional card that we use in conjunction with a house rule. When the card is turned, drop two dice. On doubles, both sides receive one additional game card.

7 Tombstone
This SOLITAIRE module can be played repeatedly because so much chance and room for different decisions have been incorporated. Further, you could design your own modules using this module as a base and substituting your own Chance Encounters.

2 CtWotG Shot clock
This is an idea that I borrowed from Aces and Eights RPG. I have simplified it for Way of the Gun. Roll a D12 and another (Red if you want) D6 to find where your bullet goes.
