DRAW! - A Card, Dice and Dueling game!
DRAW! is a game I started designing a couple of years ago as something to be played in short sessions with hijinks, high stakes and overall silliness. You assume the roll of gunslinger in the old west where everyone has a crooked eye out on everyone else. Take turns around the table choosing which player you want to duel, roll your die, play your perk card and hope no one else interferes with any trickery.
The game consists of three different types of cards the player’s may use to duel or interact with the other players at the table. All cards being drawn from the same pile with the same card back keep players guessing as to which cards the other outlaws may employ against them or the rest of the table. Perk, Even and Trick cards all have their own unique uses and can provide very different results for everyone.
As the game progresses players will duel until only one of them is left standing. The players use the health cards to track their hit points until they reach the hole in the ground reserved just for them. Though just because a player may find themselves at those pearly gates that doesn’t mean they are without the means to return to the dusty straights of town and get back into the dueling.
When it’s your turn you will pick up the player standee (yellow) and the opponent standee (red) and place them in front of yourself and the player you are choosing to duel, respectively. Then the dueling player will roll their die and play their cards while the rest of the players around their table watch on or maybe even get involved by tossing a wrench into things with any trick cards they may have in hand.
