About this game
Set in the Wild West, players take on the role of a gunslinger trying to take control of town. They can do this by force with their posse, by finance with high-stakes poker or a combination of the two. Showdown Poker combines CCG gameplay and combat with the intensity of poker and wagering. It is for two or more players and is played with standard decks of playing cards and poker chips. Showdown Poker is currently in open playtesting, and the rulebook may be downloaded for free from the "Files" section of this page.
