About the game
In Gravelton, a dusty, lawless town, Emmett "Scrooge" Masterson, the most frugal bounty hunter in the West, steps into the scene. Instead of pulling a gun, he prefers to throw a punch because bullets cost money and fists are free. But the Wild West doesn’t accept just iron and steel – to defeat the infamous Gatling Gang, he needs lead.

The game is a 40‑50 minute solo adventure that blends maze, dice, and event cards. You choose a path on the map, roll two six‑sided dice (2D6), and when you land on a numbered space, you draw an event card from a shuffled deck. These cards can bring enemies to capture, unexpected bonuses, or other surprises. Each captured enemy may give you a clue, and the sum of those clues reveals where the final boss is hiding. Capture him, and you win.

The atmosphere is classic Western: gunfire, duels, chases, and the feeling of always being on the run. The dice mechanic is simple, but the decision‑making about which path to take and when to use each clue keeps the game engaging. The maze map makes you feel like you’re really walking the streets of Gravelton, while the event cards add unpredictability. For those who enjoy solo challenges and bounty hunter stories, Gun Trail offers a quick but tense and strategic experience.
