Which one to choose ? Both seem to be very good. What's the verdict out there ? |

Dead Man's Hand is really built for 2 players. If you cheated and stretched DMH to cram in as many players as you could (say for a convention game) you could just manage 4 players. That's because DMH uses a common deck of cards for initiative, movement etc. and there are only 4 suits in a deck. Each player would "own" one suit. "Rules" on the other hand, doesn't give a damn and you can cheat all you want and cram in as many players as you like. |

DMH works fine with more than 2 players – each player gets their own deck. We've played with up to 6 with no problems. |
