Long Review:
This game is so much fun! The gameplay is so simple, it’s literally just collecting cards and then choosing which one(s) to play in different scenarios, but it’s so funny and well done. First thing I did was make my horse drunk. Sometimes I’d choose a card thinking it would cause one thing to happen, and instead I’d end up accidentally killing someone. At one point, I was lugging around a dead horse for almost an entire game because I kept trying so hard to offload it, and it kept not working because the game treats any card with the word “horse” in it as a normal horse, so I was making great escapes and giving people rides on my dead horse, which just made it even funnier.
There is a goal, a way to win, but it’s just as fun to lose. You’re going to want to play multiple times anyway to see more outrageous events and card outcomes.
It has a cute little art style. I love how everything in the game looks, from the cards to the map to the little 3D art for each event. I also love how you can see your little party trailing along behind you as you walk from place to place on the map, and it even changes to match whether you have a horse or not.
There’s a “name your own price” version of this on itch.io and a $2.99 version on Steam that has some extra events, a card tracker, and voiceover. Having played both, I can say I like having a few extra events and a card tracker, and the game is worth paying for. I got about 4 hours of fun out of it.
An incredibly fun, quick, silly game!

You know I’m not really a Western fan but sometimes these Western game or story get my attention. This almost sounds like a Choose Your Own Adventure- I know it’s not because it’s cards, but just the way crazy things can happen! I would totally get my horse drunk 🙂
I think it’s a fun setting to combine with SFF! And yeah this was really fun with all the wild stuff lol.

You have to make up for all the emojis you didn’t get to use lol.
