Description
From publisher blurb:
You are an Outlaw.
You might be old and weathered.
You might have lived a live well beyond your years.
Either way... you've only got one more hand left in you.
You never did know when to quit did you?
This is a SOLO PLAY supplement for ORBITAL BLUES written by Elliot Davis and references the original text. Using a deck of playing cards and a handful of poker chips, players will reflect on the life of an outlaw and reckon with their Trouble as they attempt to build the best poker hand possible.
