Description

This Knizia 2-player game was originally published in Games & Puzzles in 1995. It has been reprinted several times, including as a bonus item in the DVD Going Cardboard: A Board Game Documentary.

It is high noon in Silver City, Texas.

Your opponent faces you on the other side of the street. Deadly silence. Step by step you edge closer towards your foe. Your hand wavers above your gun-belt.

The game plays from duel to duel until one player picks up cards with a total value of 14 or more. On each turn, a player may move (closer to his opponent) or shoot (you have 2 guns: a Colt and a Winchester rifle). Optionally, either player may choose to end the duel and retreat (picking up more ammo).
