One player takes the role of Colonel Ned McReady and his lawmen, and his opponent assumes control of the notorious and deadly Colty gang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt their disposal, the Colty gang - the meanest bunch of low down dirty dogs in the West - have a roster of weaponry to bring down the lawmen on their tail: .38 Specials, .45 Long Colts, 1866 double barrel Derringers, and even a Gatling gun! Some example cards from the gang's deck: \u003cstrong\u003eCherokee Scout, \"Adios, Amigoes!\", \"Thanks for yer coffee and eggs, ma'am\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e\"Chew on this, Gringo!\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Colonel player's objective is to eliminate all the gang members before they can escape across the Mexican border. He can utilise such cards as \u003cstrong\u003eBuffalo Stampede, Rattlesnake Bite, \"I can smell those yellow bellies on the wind\", \"He shot my hat clean off!\" Apache Scout\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eRickety Bridge.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game has an asymmetrical design, with both decks featuring different cards and abilities. \u003cstrong\u003eRevolver\u003c\/strong\u003e is played using a 5-column system, representing consecutive gunfights in the following battlegrounds: \u003cstrong\u003eThe Bank at Repentance Springs, Whiskey Canyon, Buzzard Point, Rattlesnake Creek\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the \u003cstrong\u003e3:15 Express from Rattlesnake Station\u003c\/strong\u003e. Gameplay is quick and bloodthirsty with bandits gunned down frequently, and law-men peppered with lead by the well-placed use of \u003cstrong\u003e\"Fire at will, boys.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumerous tricky decisions must be made throughout. For instance, the Colty player could choose to deploy the Jackson Clan during the Whiskey Canyon battle, but the resources that this would require might make it a very risky, but rewarding, play. Similarly, the Colonel McReady player can deploy the Colonel at any time during the conflict - he's free to play aboard the 3:15 Express Train, but hugely expensive if used at Buzzard Point, for instance. Also, during the final confrontation, Jack Colty can force the train to crash - as a last ditch effort, probably killing some of his own crew in the process - he's as crazy as popcorn on a hot stove!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimarily a combat-driven card game, each player must manage his deck of cards effectively to win. In addition to simple, unique abilities, each card also has two values: power and cost. Some simple icons are used to display such things as 'coming-into-play' effects, and if a gringo has 'True Grit'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolver\u003c\/strong\u003e can trace its parentage back to \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/8217\/san-juan\"\u003eSan Juan\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/463\/magic-the-gathering\"\u003eMagic: The Gathering\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/760\/battle-line\"\u003eBattle Line\u003c\/a\u003e, and is a new implementation of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/69851\/aliens-this-time-its-war\"\u003eAliens: This Time It's War\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVictory Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Colty Gang player wins if he manages to \"Escape across the Mexican border.\"\u003cbr\u003eThe Colty Gang player wins if he reaches and survives the battle on the 3:15 Express train.\u003cbr\u003eThe Colonel McReady player wins if Jack Colty and all the gang members are either hanged or killed.\u003cbr\u003eThe Colonel McReady player wins if Cortez is killed before boarding the 3:15 Express train.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bandit character card has a \u003cem\u003eSurvival Rating\u003c\/em\u003e, indicating the likelihood of them surviving to the end of the game. For example, Lenny and Micky Mason have a low chance of survival, whereas Cortez has a high \u003cem\u003eSurvival Rating\u003c\/em\u003e. Also, certain character's deaths have hugely detrimental effects on the game, such as having to discard a card, or in \"Kittens\" Mackenzie's case: the gang having to fight an extra two turns on the Rattlesnake Creek battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stronghold Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":644792441,"sku":"101428","price":19.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Revolver.jpg?v=1578608891","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/revolver","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
