Fantastic concept and game & well executed western theme. Would love to see this fleshed out!

We just released the improved version at https://roguebrain.itch.io/crapshot-saloon-deluxe-edition!
Neat idea! I like the strategy/planning ahead needed to win. The western theme was very consistent the whole way through. And I liked how, instead of using dice rolls to randomize outcomes like in other games, here you control randomness a bit more and you can use it to refine your desired strategy. Great work!

Infinite DamageI like the art and the concept for the game. It was kinda hard to get the hang of just because there is so much to learn. Good entry though!

Space EscapeReally well done! The art, the sound and the game design is really great! It's a full 5 for me :D

6 Ways to DieReally fun and great music. A lot of similarities to our game, which is another Western-themed dice builder where you fight ruffians in a saloon 🤠.
I one-turned the last two, had a pretty nice deck at the end. The enemy AI could use a little tweaking and the UI could be more tutorial-y, but other than that I wouldn't change anything! And bonus points for pocket sand.

A Fistful of DiceGlad you liked it, and thanks for the feedback! When designing the game, we wanted to make it deterministic so you could fully plan around a turn, but I see what you mean (there's no reason the opponent should block at the end, or load a bullet after shooting an empty gun). In the next update after the jam, we are going to include UI fixes as well as two harder difficulty modes, so hopefully that leads to a lot more necessary strategizing.
Overall nicely polished and made game. The trading system didn't make that much sense to me but apart from that nice work!

The Dice Game ShowOne of the best games I've played this Jam. Nice aesthetics combined with deep mechanics that encourage strategic play and replayability. I could see this getting highlighted by GMTK if it can get some more attention.
I also love that it was Yahtzee-inspired. My game was an attempt at a Yahtzee inspired RPG battle system - check it out if you have time..

sKILL or DIEI never really understood all the combos, a reference table or something in the description would be nice. Plays nice and smoothly with great art and music. Having the different wanted posters to give your opponents some character was a really nice touch. Great work!

Fixed Fate BravadoNot sure if I got the combos right, but I tried. A fresh take on the theme, haven't seen it so far. 10/10

Ivory TowerI love the rock paper scissors-style mechanics mixed with dice! Nice art style too!

Dice Paper Scissors!that's a funny idea ! liked to try out some combo but i didn't really understood if i had managed to pull it off xD

Die and DicePlayed through on first try. Solid game with fitting theme and nice style.

Dice KingdomOnce I actually understoof what everything meant I had a lot of fun. The trading dice aspect really adds a lot of strategy, although I made the mistake of not realising they were dice (stupid me) and so you're not just trading one dice face but all 6. I accidentally traded my guns away!
