The High Noon Clock is a tactical dueling game for two players (or solo against a bot) played with a standard poker deck. The setting is classic: two gunslingers facing off on main street, the church clock about to strike noon, and you must choose between closing the distance (increasing accuracy), taking cover (drawing cards), or aiming to fire. Every move is a gamble—will your opponent draw first? Hand management is key as you balance options without wasting valuable cards. In solo mode, the bot is a ruthless opponent that punishes mistakes. Ready for this high-stakes duel?
