## Description
Hey folks! Check out this solo game that throws you right into the Wild West, but with an RPG and story vibe reminiscent of classics like Barbarian Prince. In 'The Drifter', you play as a gunslinger with a hazy past, the kind who lived dangerously, outside the law, enjoying the wild life. But now, you've got the urge to change your ways, hang up your spurs, and maybe buy a ranch to settle down. To do that, you need to gather $300, and the game gives you free rein to get that cash however you see fit. The question is: will you succumb to the dangers lurking in the wilderness, or will you manage to achieve your dream of a peaceful retirement? 

The game uses dice rolling and a hexagonal grid map to create a unique experience each session, much like a gamebook where the story unfolds based on your choices and the dice rolls. It's perfect for those who enjoy a solo adventure with an engaging narrative and the thrill of seeing your character fight for a better future. The complexity is light, ideal for those who want to relax without overthinking, yet still have a story to tell. Get ready to live the life of a drifter and discover your destiny in the heart of the Wild West!
