	Description Edit \| History

One of the more unusual collectible card games on the market, Doomtown has players taking the part of gangs, called 'outfits,' trying to gain control of the California boomtown known as Gomorrah, in the same Weird West setting as the popular Deadlands RPG.

Doomtown is set apart from other games in the crowded CCG market by its unique poker-based combat resolution, as well as by the way in which the town is built up through the game by the use of Deed cards. Outfits range from the good-guy Law Dogs to the mysterious Sioux Union to the nefarious Whateley clan.

Doomtown is not for casual gamers. It rewards both careful deck construction and good play in a decidedly adult milieu. Highly unusual, highly original, this is a CCG for those who want something more than a little different.

Doomtown Collection and Deck Builder

Use Microsoft Excel to manage your Doomtown collection. This spreadsheet contains many features to aid your Doomtown collecting and deck building. It is column A and B which is key to using this tool. Column A is where you record the number of cards you own for each unique card name there is. The Collection Analysis tab will detail what your collection is made up of. Column B is used for deck building. You can use all the type and keyword filters to isolate specific cards and record the number you selected. Then you can use the Deck Analysis tab to see how the deck looks. Note: The data contained only has unqiue entries and from the first set a card appeared in.
