As the title says, Fistful of Lead was designed as a quick set of rules for gunfights in the Wild West. I like rules that can be learned within a couple of turns and still keep the flavor of the period. For Fistful of Lead, I wanted the play to be fast and furious, with a Hollywood flair to it. There is no scale, and I hate record keeping. All the player needs to know can be shown with markers provided (or you can make your own). You don’t need a record sheet, or need to keep track of ammo. It is assumed the gunfighters are reloading between shots (except for some special conditions) and he/she is actually firing a volley of lead when they shoot.

In most games, each player can control up to 6 gunfighters without much trouble. And games can have up to 8 players without slowing down the game.
The game is meant to be scenario based, (several are provided at the end of the rules), and coming up with your own is one of the best parts.

“Well, you just gonna sit there whistling Dixie, or are ya gonna draw
them hoglegs?...”

Ted Conn 10 8 9 A truly simple, yet fun rule set that offers the flavor of a western gunfight without getting too nitty.
David Bezio 6 10 10 Delightfully concise and simple, this game manages to cover all the rules you will need to play an entertaining and satisfactory tactical wild west wargame. FoL is quick to learn, entertaining to read, and a breeze to house-rule and expand.
Michael Reese 10 9 9 This is a great set of rules at a fantastic price. The rules are quick, and easy to learn. If you're looking for character depth and campaigning, this probably isn't the set for you. If want quick and dirty gunfights, these rules are great.
Bob Hambleton 10 10 10 Very quick to learn and fun to play. The double action per model allows for surprising tactical depth. Played my first game with 3 friends, none of us had heard of Fistful of Lead before and within 20 minutes we were all pretty much fluent.
Jeff Hudelson 10 8 9 This looks like LOTS of FUN. Easily playable by youngsters too.
John Cunningham 10 10 10 Great transaction for a really good set of Old West rules!!
