A Lawless Town is trick-taking game set in the Wild West where players must swing deals and spend their cash to pay one another off in order to come out ahead.
The game is played over the course of three round in which each player will be dealt a hand of cards which are then then use to win tricks. Unlike other trick-taking games, in A Lawless Town each trick has at least two winners.
Next players will bribe and haggle with one another in order to convince the trick winners to distribute their awards in ways that are favorable to the briber's plan.
