About the game
Mysterious disappearances have tensions running high in Deadwood, South Dakota. In the badlands, Ursula’s Worm Cult prepares a macabre ritual. Sheriff Seth Bullock prepares to lead a combined posse of townsfolk and First Peoples to stop them before it’s too late. Meanwhile, Marshal Bass Reeves is hot on the trail of Jack McCall who is hiding from the ghost of “Wild” Bill Hickok, and Hao T’e Zui’s Righteous Bandits are set to clash with E.B. Farnum and his allies in the Deadwood Miner’s Alliance. Which of these feuds will be paid off in a debt of blood? This new Doomtown expansion features 4 copies of 56 new cards, including historical people and places of Deadwood! New rules feature Doomtown’s first dual faction dude as well as Headlines that occur during High Noon. Following the recent Welcome to Deadwood expansion and Doomtown: Weird West Edition, the Doomtown story continues in Deadwood, South Dakota. Debt of Blood is Pine Box Entertainment’s sixth expansion for Doomtown, (previously Doomtown: Reloaded expandable card game) and the first following Weird West Edition. The expansion is compatible with all previous cards. —description from the publisher
