Bullets & Bourbon is a tabletop adventure game (also known as a role-playing game, or RPG) where the players take on the role of Cowpokes - outlaws, bounty killers, homesteaders, and other folks that have come out West in search of something. They travel from one town to the next working odd jobs or set out into the wilderness - following the hastily drawn scribbles on a treasure map they won a town back during a hand of cards.
