Dead mans hand four player?
« on: February 20, 2014, 11:53:29 PM »
Thinking of a four man game of this soon.
Anybody got any links etc or references/ideas for four man games,meaning four gangs/posses rather than simply two players a side?

Thanks in advance!

Four players, each on their own - or four players, two per side? A lot of DMH guys here - sure they can come up with something for ya.

ive done DMH with 2-6 players.  most scenerios have 3-7 figures per side so we just let each guy 1 or 2 a piece. and share cards and initiative.  has worked fine for my group.

I have only found one reference for using 2 sets of cards, not sure how that would work as they are duplicates?

each faction is 1 suit out of the deck.  So I would think it should work fine.

I think you are right that would be only way I would work

There's a dedicated four player scenario in the upcoming Legend of Dead Man's Hand book...

We've played it three-haned.  Works fine

FANTASTIC!
Will there be more cards, or just an expansion book?

Any hints to anything else in there?  ;)  I'm dying to know!

Four new gangs, plus their cards, new scenes,  but, most importantly, rules for running multi-player campaigns with business/criminal schemes, injuries, experience, etc.
