Description
Players buy deeds in a Western Town and defend their property with their guns. Hire a gunfighter to do your dirty work for you (if you have the money), otherwise you'll get called out into the street. A 3D board with a unique mechanism for resolving gunfights is the center of play. A rotating underlay moves beneath a player's (or hired gun's) token. In the underlay are die-cut holes, so when it rotates under your token it falls down... and you lose the fight. Last man standing is the winner. Publishers Denys Fisher Toys (1973) Milton Bradley (1974)
