Who is the Law? Who is an Outlaw? Saloon is a bluffing and deduction game for 5 to 10 people. Play online, each on your own phone, or on a single phone passed from hand to hand. No sign-up and no ads. HOW IT WORKS • Everyone gets a secret card: the Law or the Outlaws. Only the Outlaws know who the other Outlaws are. • Each round, the Sheriff picks a team and the whole table votes on whether to trust it. • On the mission, each member secretly chooses to complete it or sabotage it. A single sabotage fails the mission. • The first side to win 3 missions takes the town. And if 5 teams are rejected in a row, the Outlaws win. EXTRA CHARACTERS • Badge: the Marshal starts out knowing who the Outlaws are, but has to keep it hidden. If the Law wins, the Gang Boss still has one last bullet to find the Marshal. • Farce: the Clerk sees two names and must work out which one is the real Marshal, while the Forger poses as the authority. • Duel: whoever holds the revolver can challenge someone to a staredown and may secretly learn their team. MADE FOR THE TABLE • Online: create a room, share the code and everyone plays on their own phone. Friends without the app can join from the website. • One phone for the whole group: nobody else needs to install anything. • In single-phone mode, it works without internet. • Anything secret is shown only to the person holding the phone. • Play in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French or German. Perfect for parties, family gatherings and game nights with friends.
