Dead Man's Hand Rulebook
A role-playing game set in the mythic American Old West, where bounty hunters track fugitives, robbers target trains, and settlers defend their claims from criminals and beasts. Players portray characters making their way through frontier towns and saloons while the Sheriff guides a prepared storyline. The system is diceless, using standard playing cards and poker chips to resolve actions and track resources. Play requires one 54-card deck with two jokers, a second deck without jokers, and chips in several denominations.
