Deadlands: The Great Rail Wars (1997)

About this game

From the box: In Deadlands: the Great Rail Wars, players pit heroes and posses of metal miniatures against each other in battles to determine the fate of the Weird West and possibly the entire world. It's a fast-playing and easy-to-learn skirmish-level game set in in the richly detailed and exciting background of the hit Deadlands roleplaying game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 3.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
