Robbers' Roost: More POD Progress

Robbers' Roost BANG! Card Sheet


This next cardsheet I have designed for the POD contains orange cards. I have been changing some of the wording to be clearer, such as for Dive, which originally stated that you could take a hit for a player at distance 2. But this seemed to be specific to that exact distance, so instead I have changed the words from "at distance 2" to a player whom you see "within distance 2." I am also debating removing Stand Off from Robbers' Roost, and either adding more of the other orange cards or introducing a new orange card to the mix as a replacement. Is there any objection to removing Stand Off, which I think is of questionable value and confusing to explain?

  1. I guess changing stand off to something like: At end of a duel start a duel with the winner of the last duel. Would make it a strong card. No?

  2. Maybe you could change Stand Off so that instead of just joining a duel you join a specific side. Ie. So After a duel is started you choose a teammate and take turns playing Bangs against the other single enemy(or enemies if more than one stand off is played). If your side wins the enemy takes two hits. If your side losses both players take one hit. Just an idea. It might make the card overpowered.

  3. These are both excellent ideas, and far better than the original Stand Off. I am leaning towards a variant of Anthony's: you join a side during a Duel where either 1 of you can play a BANG! for your side. If your side loses you both take a hit, if the other player loses he takes 1 hit. If 2 Standoffs are played simultaneously, there can either be 3 on 1 team or 2 teams of 2. Again, each member of the losing side takes a hit.

  4. Thanks for the help on this! I think Stand Off will be much improved.

  5. Just a question. If the player that losses dies and it is an outlaw who gets the rewards?
    they split it each gets 3 cards?

  6. Sure; you could have them split at as with Join Arms. In this case, I have them both gain 2 cards instead of 3.
