Deadwood 1876

In Deadwood 1876, you use cards from your hand to win safes from other players. Safes contain Badges, Gold, or Showdown Guns. Towards the end of the game, players with Badges get extra turns. After the final turn, the team with the most Gold advances to the Final Showdown. There, teammates will fight each other to the death using Showdown Guns. The last person alive is the winner!

The game is a balance between teamwork and selfishness. If a player uses all of their best cards to chase gold for their team, they will be helpless to fight their teammates when they get to the Final Showdown. But if a player only goes after Guns and keeps all of their best cards, their team may not have enough gold to actually reach the Final Showdown. If someone on your team doesn’t seem to be going for it, they may be planning to steal your gold after using you to get to the finals!
