Quick Draw Card Game

What is Quick Draw Card Game

Quick Draw is a card came designed for 2-4 players whereby each player takes on the role of a Gunfighter in the old west. Each player begins the game with 30 life points, you can use glass beads or pen and paper to keep track of the life points. You will need a standard pack of cards that have 2 jokers, and around 10-15 six sided dice (less depending on number of players).

The game is divided into turns with each turn being made up of 3 rounds; Quick Draw, Aim and Fire. At the start of a turn the players are dealt 10 cards and then 5 communal cards are played face up in the middle of the play area.

For each round the players must use three cards from their hand to make the best poker hand they can. They place each round of cards face down in front of them (3 stacks of 3 cards). The left stack are the cards used for the Quick Draw round, the middle stack is used for the Aim Round and the Right Stack is used for the Fire Round. The last remaining card is placed to the very right of the Fire Stack.

When all of the players have made their selection all of the stacks of cards and the remaining card are turned over, spread out and revealed for all to see, then each player places 2d6 on top of their remaining card.
