Brisk business at the undertakers

A visit to the Old West town of Obsession recently. Well, a suburb anyway. A quick game of Dead Man's Hand was on the, um, cards. My Lawmen were tacking a whole bunch of horse rustling Outlaws. This new lot of hotshot Longriders were planning to raid the Livery on the outskirts of town.

There's no room for the Law in this town

Just a quick shout out for Jimboba who earned his first pair Dead Man's Hand spurs with a visit to the Battleshed yesterday. He was joined by my regular gaming buddy, Sam Pate, for a casual shootout in the streets of Obsession.

We all got pieces of crazy in us, some bigger pieces than others

 

A flurry of cards, hilarity and poorly executed wild west accents was in full swing at the weekend. Yes, it was a return to Dead Man's Hand! Having arranged a two-player game I used the opportunity to bring boards 1 and 2 from my Wild West town, Obsession, to my local club. I'm going to have to get a van if ever all four boards are going to be transported regularly!

For those new or interested in playing Dead Man's Hand, there are some excellent free download resources over at the Great Escape Games site, including updated errata, markers, building signage, sample pages from the books and, in particular, some excellent Quick Reference Sheets.

Don't squat with your spurs on

The Old Mine

A very much welcome return to Dead Man's Hand yesterday. It's been many, many months since I last played. Actually, I think my Lawmen last had an outing back in July 2015, whilst I was on holiday in Crete with the family!

Dead Man's Hand: A town called Obsession

Dead Man's Hand Terrain Board Project - ready to game!

Friday night will see the inaugural game on my 'officially' completed DMH terrain board project. All four boards are now ready to be put together to form the town of Obsession. There's still a myriad of tweaks, fixes, enhancements still to be done, but at long last, I can finally say it is 'ready to game!

Three makes a crowd in Obsession

This morning over at Livingston Battleground, I brought along my DMH boards 1 & 2 for a shootout with Ian's gang.

John decided he'd like to get in on the action, so a three-way game ensued. Unusually, my Lawmen weren't the sandwich filler on this occasion, which is my normal position in three-way games and, even more remarkably, my Lawmen were victorious, ridding the town of the ne'er-do-wells without taking any casualties!

Always an excellent, fun game, with much card-playing skulduggery and cinematic shenanigans :)
