A group of Cowboys have decided to leave behind life on the ranch in pursuit of fame and fortune in the form of a cowboy boy band. One problem: they haven't decided who the lead cowboy is going to be.
The boys have to kiss up to the owner of their record label, competing to become the lead and fulfill their dreams!
Kissin Cowboys is a roleplay card game I made in 10 weeks. The physical game consists of character cards, event cards, and a rule book.
Clyde
Butch
Levi
West
Boone
Record Label King
The game is played by between 3 and 6 players. Each player chooses a character card, ensuring at least one player pulls the Record Label King card.
Character cards designate role (cowboy or King) and give players an appearance and personality to guide the roleplay.

Cowboy players then take turns pulling event cards, which dictate either a positive opportunity or a negative scandal in their career.
Players use these cards to guide roleplay and build game narrative. At the end of each round, the Record Label King player eliminates a cowboy from the running, until only one is left and the lead cowboy is decided.

This game is so special to me! It's great to see folks laughing over cowboy mishaps. As a solo project I learned about meeting my own aesthetic and play expectation, working flexibly while maintaining a vision.
