Low-Down, No Good, Dirty Damn BASTARD

The Frontier Isn’t Big Enough for the Both of You.

LOW-DOWN is a fast, tense, solo tabletop role-playing game that pits order against lawlessness in a brutal frontier showdown. Taking place across a tight, three-hex map, you choose your side: play either as the relentless LAWMEN tracking down justice, or the desperate OUTLAW running out of places to hide. Whichever role you don't choose is driven automatically by a ruthless Automa engine.  

To the Left sits TOWN, the bastion of civilization. To the Right sits CAMP, the refuge of the lawless. In between lies THE BADLANDS—a wild center hex packed with opportunity, hunting, horse taming, and treasure.  

But every turn you spend gathering resources is a turn your opponent uses to scale up and close the distance. As the TENSION clock ticks upward, the distance shrinks. The moment you meet, a lethal, multi-phase gunfight triggers instantly. Will you draw clean and land a mortal blow, or end up taking a dirt nap?
