## Description
Dust off your boots and get your game face on, because the gold rush in Deadwood has begun! In Deadwood 1876, you and your partners in crime are attempting to heist safes filled with gold in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The catch? In the Wild West, the only thing more valuable than gold is your own skin. You'll work as a team to ensure your group gathers enough loot to reach the Final Showdown, but be warned: your 'friends' might be secretly hoarding weapons to shoot you in the back the moment the dust settles.

The game's dynamic is a constant tug-of-war between cooperation and greed. To win, you need gold to propel your team into the finals, but if you spend all your best cards helping the group, you'll be left defenseless during the final duel. Conversely, if you focus solely on acquiring guns and ignore the gold, your team might not even qualify for the deciding phase. This is where bluffing and deduction come into play: who is actually helping, and who is just using you as a stepping stone?

Throughout the match, you'll use cards to fight for safes that may contain gold, badges (which grant extra turns near the end), or showdown guns. If you suspect a teammate isn't pulling their weight, it might be time to betray them, frame them, or simply leave them for dead. The game culminates in a lethal duel where only one survivor takes it all. It's a fast-paced, tense party game full of twists, perfect for those who love seeing friendships tested in the pursuit of fortune.
