High Stakes Drifter (2005)

Overview

The first CCG from the creator of such collectible miniatures games as Mage Knight and Heroclix, High Stakes Drifter combines poker and CCGs for a unique multi-player experience unlike any other game. Set to retail in $9.99 starter decks and $2.99 booster packs, the game features both cards and poker chips (called Kicker Chips) that change the flow of the game.

From the publisher:

The Wild West was never as much fun as the betting-and-bluffing world of High Stakes Drifter! The hustlers, gamblers, lawmen, first nations, and outlaws have all thrown in their chips, and only those with nerves of steel and the right mix of skill, luck, and smarts will prevail! Combining elements of traditional saloon games and featuring photography and personalities from the Wild West such as Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp, High Stakes Drifter is the first collectible card game (CCG) from WizKids and the first CCG that gets better as more players sit down at the table. Special kicker chips add just a pinch of luck, but the greatest bettors and bluffers will prevail in the dusty world of High Stakes Drifter!
