Standoff!

December 20, 2017

Standoff! is a game of strategy, deception, and betrayal. Each player has a drum of six cards loaded in their revolver and on the count of three, each player draws their gun and chooses their target. Players then reveal the card they loaded in their guns and resolve the effects.

We wanted the actions of the game to evoke the feelings of the game’s name—a standoff. The cards in the game bring about the clichés of every famous standoff from film, from gun jams to hostages, to double-crosses. Naturally, a standoff evokes tension but for this game, we wanted to focus on the comedic aspects to make Standoff! a fun and fast game to play with friends.
