High Noon Saloon (2011)

About this game

Game description from the publisher: On a windin' desert road in the middle of nowhere lies a town with no name. In this town you'll find a place where no slight goes unanswered and no fight stays private, the roughest, toughest waterin' hole in the Old West – the High Noon Saloon. If you're lookin' for a fight, you've come to the right place. In the action-packed game High Noon Saloon, you are a combatant in an all-out brawl fought in an Old West Saloon. Shoot it out from a distance or get in close and beat on your opponents directly. Move between different parts of the saloon to get the upper hand. Whatever you do, make sure to keep your guard up – if you're not careful, you'll get beaten to a bloody pulp, shot full of holes, or both! The last one standin' wins, and there ain't no prize for second. High Noon Saloon also includes special rules and cards for playing the game in teams.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
