Deadlands: Doomtown is an original collectible card game, in which each player controls a faction of Weird West dudes, deeds, actions, goods and spells trying to defeat his opponent by taking control of a fictitious town using his own custom deck of cards. It\'s most novel feature is making each card not just a dude/deed/action, but also a poker card -- every battle is fought through playing poker, making game swings immense and fun, integrating fast play and bluffing into deep tactics and strategy. Throughout the game you weave the story of a faction struggling for control of a frontier boom town that is expanding rapidly due to a large concentration of Ghost Rock - a super fuel used to power spells and weird gadgets. You use this ghost rock to hire dudes (gun fighters, spell-slingers, mad scientists, etc) and populate the town with buildings and goods. You then use these resources to build control over vital parts of the city. The basic flow of the game is not set. Over the course of any given turn you may gamble against the other players, collect ghost rock, play dudes, play deeds, play goods, move dudes from location to location, cast spells, get into shoot outs, get into tactical positioning contests, and dozens of other options. Doomtown is widely considered to be one of the greatest CCGs, and even greatest games, of all-time. In 1998, it won the origin award for best trading card game of the year. In September 2007, Inquest magazine named Doomtown the 6th best overall game ever made, trailing only the likes of Magic, D&D and Settlers of Catan. If you read the many posts on Boardgamegeek.com, you will gleen an almost religious fervor that experienced players feel for the game.
