About The Drifter

The Drifter is a solitaire, story, dice game based in the fictional wild west. The drifter is reminiscent of games like Barbarian Prince (1980), where every game is a unique story experience. You are a gunslinger who has been living a hazy existence. Your brief time in this world has been mostly spent on the outside of the law, killing, stealing, carousing with undesirables, living a dangerous life full of excess and violence. Recently, you feel life might have more to offer. You know this way of life will not last and now are looking to maybe put your wild ways away, buy a ranch and settle into obscurity. You determined you need $300 and are willing to get it by any means you feel necessary. Will you fall victim to one of the endless dangers that lurk in the wild west or will you enjoy your remaining days in a serene retirement, tending to your ranch? Find out as The Drifter. —description from the designer
