Hi all,
first of all a Happy New Year to everyone with a lot of health, fortune and success.
May 2017 be a good year with a lot of time for our hobby.
Today my nephew Andrè and I played a good game of Dead Man´s Hand in my man´s cave.
Andrè never played tabletop before and he had a lot of fun. I am sure that he will join some more games in future. I am also not very firm to the rules yet, so it was a test for both of us.
We just decided to play with two full gangs. Everybody had to kill all members of the enemy gang.
Andrè wanted to play Indians and I chose a gang of Cowboys. As I don´t have a gang of Indians of the Wildwest yet I just gave my Mohawks to him. So please don´t be confused if you see Indians of times of the French and Indian War fighting against Cowboys in the Wildwest in the 70´s of the 19th century.
Here are some impressions of our game. Enjoy. :)
Cheers
Mike

| What a brilliant shot - My Rancher lying dead on the ground. The chief of my gang has left the set. |
 |
| My cowboy with his shotgun manages to enter the building. He shoots from point blank and gets a bonus of 6. But the card of Andrè prevents his warrior to die immediately. |
 |
| Meanwhile another Indian kills one cowboy with a precise shot. |
 |
| The indian in the building reacts on the shot by the shotgun with a melee and kills him. |
 |
| Andrè again manages to kill one of my cowboys with another excellent shot. |
 |
| The warrior in the building got support by another indian. But my cowboy shoots him down. |
 |
| Another indian is knocked out. |
 |
| This time the indians got a double jam. |
Andrè was lucky and killed all of my cowboys and still had four of his warriors on the table.
It was a great victory for him. Congratulations and I will be prepared for revenge.
