Aces & Eights: Shattered Frontier

So, imagine you're playing a game in the Wild West with your friends. Aces & Eights: Shattered Frontier is a game like that. But instead of just pretending to be cowboys, you use cards, dice, and miniatures to bring the game to life.

In the game, you create a character that's like a cowboy in the Wild West. You can choose what they look like and what they're good at. Then, you and your friends work together to create a story where your characters go on adventures, like robbing a bank or fighting off bad guys.

To play the game, you roll dice and draw cards to see if you succeed in what you're trying to do. You might also use miniatures, which are small figures that look like your cowboy, to show what's happening in the game.

But the game is special because it has something called the Shot Clock. This is a huge round target with lots of numbers and symbols on it. When you shoot your gun in the game, you use the Shot Clock to see where your bullet goes. You spin the clock and see where it lands, and that decides if you hit your target or not. It makes the game more exciting and realistic.

So, Aces & Eights: Shattered Frontier is a game where you and your friends play as cowboys in the Wild West. You use cards, dice, and miniatures to make the game come alive, and take turns spinning a Shot Clock to see if you hit your target when you shoot your gun. It's a lot of fun and makes you feel like you're really there in the Wild West!
