Dust Devils: The Truly Gritty Old West Role-Playing Game
A wild west RPG. It uses an unusual playing card system. The character draws a number of cards based on the sum of two attributes. Highest poker hands across opposed characters determines who wins a conflict¸ but highest single card determines who narrates the outcome. Players also have chips which may be spent to draw extra cards or other effects. Each character has a Devil representing his ""worser nature"" which can modify actions. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim"
