A bad day in Black Gulch

[SteveBurt]

A fun game of Dead man's hand last night with 4 players.
The scenario was a simple one, but it worked well. Each player had to kill the gang leader of the player to their left.
So the Lawmen wanted to kill Bod Dalton, the Daltons wanted to kill the Pinkerton leader, the Pinkertons wanted to kill Big Liz, and the outlaw girls wanted to kill the Sheriff.  This meant the two outlaw and the two law players were loosely allied (as they had no reason to fight), but there was conflict with both the players on the other side. Great fun as always and lots of cinematic moments, lawmen leaping out of the windows, Bob Dalton grabbing a bar girl and using her as a human shield, stumbles played at critical times to leave figures marooned in the open, guns jamming or running out of ammo at the worst time.
In the end, the Daltons just managed to kill the Pinkerton leader as casualties mounted all round, so we declared them the winner.
