    It really pains me to not recommend Rattlesnake City, because I believe with a few modifications it could have some real potential. As it is, the funny artwork and Western theme are not enough to fix the blasé feeling the game evokes. The designers tried to pour a lot of the Old West into the box, but they also forgot good game mechanics and fun. See my review for more details...
