High Noon

A quick and easy American western-inspired game for 2 players (solo friendly too)

Players pick a character, each has 3 stats. Grit is your health. Shoot is your skill with the gun. Lie is your presence whether it be Intimadation or Persuasion. These come into play in both phases of the game. The first phase is 5 5-card Poker, only one hand is played and each poker hand can give a boost to the second phase, the DUEL...

After the poker hand is played, accusations of cheating are thrown about leading the 2 players to settle the dispute in a classic western film troupe.  This is where both skills come into play. The winning hand shoots first, rolling a D10 to determine where the shot lands, then either adds or subtracts points based on the character stats as well as the previously played poker hand.

The game lasts about 20 minutes, 1 round of poker, and up to 3 rounds of shooting. It is designed to be printed double-sided on a single page.
