One of the more unusual collectible card games on the market, Doomtown has players taking the part of gangs, called 'outfits,' trying to gain control of the California boomtown known as Gomorrah, in the same Weird West setting as the popular Deadlands RPG.Doomtown is set apart from other games in the crowded CCG market by its unique poker-based combat resolution, as well as by the way in which the town is built up through the game by the use of Deed cards. Outfits range from the good-guy Law Dogs to the mysterious Sioux Union to the nefarious Whateley clan.Doomtown is not for casual gamers. It rewards both careful deck construction and good play in a decidedly adult milieu. Highly unusual, highly original, this is a CCG for those who want something more than a little different. - BoardGameGeek
