About the game
Inside this edition of The Good you will a collection of different factions vying to control the town of Dead Man's Hand. So are these the "Good" guys? You may ask this question and the answer is a resounding No. There's nothing as simple as Good and Bad, and Ugly, even in Dead Man's Hand. Each gang trying to wrestle control of the town is doing it "for the good of the town", others are a lot more cynical and are just out for what's best for them. If the townsfolk benefit from them taking control then that's a happy coincidence.

A copy of Dead Man’s Hand Redux rulebook is needed to use this product.
