About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a solo Western adventure! In Deadeye Dinah, you step into the boots of the legendary bounty hunter Dinah Reeves, who takes on one last favor for her deputy marshal brother, Bass. The mission? Track down a gang of wanted criminals causing mayhem across the territory. This is a compact card game, perfect for carrying in your pocket and playing anywhere, as it requires no table and minimal setup.
Each session is a new hunt, featuring 8 different missions where you face perilous scenes or shootouts against outlaws. Your 'kit' cards are your main asset: use them as bullets to shoot enemies or as items for special advantages. But beware! The outlaws can retaliate and knock out your cards, leaving you resource-less. If you run out of kit cards, it's game over for that mission, and you'll have to start over. Time to face the boss? Prepare for a tense duel. Shoot their hat before they escape, and you secure the capture, boosting your fame and upgrading Dinah's abilities for future hunts. If you fail, don't worry; Dinah's legend is built on persistence. The ultimate goal is to capture all 8 outlaws and bring them to Bass, proving that 'Deadeye' Dinah never misses her mark. It's a quick game with minimal text on the cards, ideal for those who enjoy a strategic challenge and a good, no-fuss Western tale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
How many players can play Deadeye Dinah?
Deadeye Dinah is strictly a one-player (solo) game.
How long does a game session take?
A single mission (one 'job') takes about 5 to 15 minutes to complete. The full game, with all 8 missions, will take longer, depending on your performance.
Do I need a table to play?
No! Deadeye Dinah is a 'no table needed' game, meaning you can play with the cards in hand, making it ideal for travel or when space is limited.
Is the game difficult?
The average weight on BGG is 2.5/5, indicating moderate difficulty. It requires good hand management and a bit of luck, but Dinah's progression helps throughout the campaign.
What does 'Print & Play' mean?
It means the game is distributed digitally, and you need to print the components (cards, in this case) and assemble them yourself to play.
Who do you recommend Deadeye Dinah for?
We recommend it for those looking for a quick solo game with a Western theme, testing their card management skills and offering a short campaign with progression.
Do the cards have a lot of text?
No, the game has very little text on the cards, which makes memorization and gameplay easier, especially in English.
