WILD WEST SHOW CHARACTERS

CHARACTERS FROM WILD WEST SHOW

Big Spencer

He bagins with 5 cards in his hand. He cannot play Missed! cards.

One of my best loved characters. It is very balanced and funny to see with all those life points!









Flint Westwood

During his turn he may exchange one card from his hand with 2 random cards from the hand of any one player.




Gary Looter

He draws all cards discarded from other player at the end of their turn.

This is the first character with 5 life points. He has still a "positive" ability, while Big Spencer has a "negative" one. According to some thinking and playtesting, the "zero" character (i.e., a character balanced with no ability at all) needs 6 life points. I think that a character with no ability is acceptable with at least 7 life points: however, the real problem is that such a character seems a bit boring to play!




Greygory Deck

At the start of his turn ha may draw 2 character cards at random. He has the abilities of both characters.

Maybe it is more balanced with 3 life points. But he is a "wild" characters, and by the way Gregory Peck is one of the actors I prefer.




John Pain

If he has less than 6 cards in his hand, each time a player "draws!", John adds that card to his hand.

It is really deadly: try it without the limit of 6 cards.

Lee Van Kliff

In his turn, he may discard a BANG! to repeat the effect of one brown bordered card he just played. 




Teren Kill

Each time he would be eliminated, "draw!": on a card different from Spades, he stays in play with 1 life point, and draws 1 card.

The original idea was to create a character with 1 or 2 life points, but to date I did not find a balanced ability for such a weak character. Teren Kill, while strongly influenced by luck of the draw, may be really devastating with 3 life points, becoming almost invincible if he avoids the cards of Spades in the crucial moments.



Youl Grinner

Before drawing, the players with more cards in hand of him must give him a card of their choice.
