The players are cowboys facing one another in a duel. The game plays out in a number of rounds which each consist of a number of duels in which both players place a card with a value that will beat the opponents.

Each player takes 9 cards and discards 2

Turn Sequence

The players secretly pick a card which is placed in front of them simultaneously. You may not place a card of an immediately higher (+1) value than you previously played. This represents one duel and the winner will receive a certain amount of gold to be outlined below.

End of a Round

  • The person with the most gold wins the round.
  • The players take back the cards they have played and the following round is played with one less duel.
  • The first person to win two rounds wins the game.

Winning and Scoring a Duel
