Grim West: A Game Of Demonic Gold and Gunpowder
The Gold Rush brought thousands to the frontier, seeking fortune in the dirt. But they dug too deep.
Beneath the rock and ore, they uncovered ancient gates to Hell. Now, the frontier is a slaughterhouse where mining towns are overrun by hellish hordes. In Grim West, you lead a band of Wranglers—specialists, outlaws, and holy men—armed with iron, faith, and grit. Your mission is simple: hold back the darkness, protect the operations, and try to survive the night.
A Fast-Paced, Card-Driven Experience
Leave the dice and tape measures at home. Grim West uses a standard deck of playing cards for movement, combat, and soul-testing Bravado.
- Tactical Measurement: Distances are measured using the edges of your cards. Dictate your movement and range, making the game tactile and portable.
- - The Power of the Deck: Every flip matters. High values win the day, but Aces are the wildcards of the West—representing critical hits for attackers or catastrophic failures for defenders.
- - Brutal Combat: Attacks are fast and lethal. If your attack value doubles the defender's, you trigger an Overkill.
Build Your Posse
Recruit a team of 5 Wranglers from 7 distinct classes, each with unique abilities to turn the tide of battle:
- - The Veteran: Hardened survivors who excel at defense and strike harder with black cards.
- - The Surgeon: Essential for removing injuries in the heat of battle.
- - The Harlot: Fueled by pain, becoming more dangerous as they take injuries.
- - The Priest: A beacon of hope who provides Bravado bonuses and can ignore injuries through faith.
- - And more... including the Tracker, Cowboy, and Bandit.
Equip your posse with period-accurate weaponry like Lever-Action Rifles, Six-Shooters, and Sabres, then bolster them with supernatural equipment like Holy Water or Infernal Tobacco.
Face the Legions of Hell
Battle a terrifying roster of demons, from the swarming Imps and ravenous Ghouls to the massive Abyssal Worms and the reality-warping Demon Lord. Be wary: a fallen Wrangler isn't always gone—they may become Possessed, turning their guns against their former allies.
