Frantic Far West

Hidden-role shootout

Frantic Far West is a PC online hidden-role game set around a saloon table, where 4 to 12 players try to work out who’s on their side. The outlaw wants to eliminate the sheriff; the cowboys must identify and eliminate the outlaw. Everyone learns their role at the start, but the sheriff’s identity is secret.

Each night, the outlaw loads a bullet into a revolver. By day, the players debate, bluff and choose targets. When discussion ends, everyone still alive fires at once. Only loaded revolvers can kill, so an aimed shot isn’t necessarily a fatal one.
