Bantam West (2nd Edition)

Howdy there, Deadly Stranger... Bantam West (2nd Edition) is a competitive open-world adventure game for 1–4 players, where you take on the role of a Gunslinger, Thief, Merchant, or Arsonist in the outlaw town of Gallow Springs. Roam the Lone Range and visit the Saloon, Gunsmith, Trading Post, and Stables. Harvest Resources, craft Goods, and outfit your Stranger with Weapons, Gear, and Mounts. Play nice with your rivals or don’t. Fight Bandits, Predators, Cultists, and other Deadly Strangers in tense card-based combat, then make off with their hard-earned Loot. With unexpected Events, harsh Weather, and perilous Hazards standing between you and your ambitions, even the best-laid plans can go sideways. So risk it all and make your name, because only one Deadly Stranger can become the Most Notorious... 2nd Edition walks back into the Saloon with a fresh shave, polished iron, and a brand-new pair of boots. Since the release of 1st Edition in 2023, we’ve listened closely to years of player feedback and taken a hard look at nearly every part of the game. The result is a faster, deeper, and more refined Bantam West, while preserving the open-world freedom and player-driven stories at its heart.
