I've always wished I could be one of those minatures guys who could paint those little pieces of art. I wish I could afford the cash outlay for the things. I never understood the card game. I bought the intro set and played a few demos but it never got me in the 'Deadlands' mood. This is somewhat associated with the CCG, as ghost rock fever hits this small town near Gomorra.
Factions line up, and people are shot.
The game's rules straddle the fine line between hardcore minis and pick up game. The games I've played last less than two hours. The game basically allows the player to assign 'cards' to their pieces to move them but the player may also hold cards to power special abilities. Some guys shoot, some guys fight, and it is able to carry a lot of the Deadlands special abilities like Hucksters, Mad Science, and Miracles. The game flowed quickly and actually required strategy.
