According to an article in ICv2.com, WizKids has decided to end support for High Stakes Drifter. WizKids also said that it will no longer support its High Stakes Drifter CCG, which did not receive enough support to justify continuing it. This is no surprise to me. I had breakfast with WizKids’ CEO Jordan Weisman at the GAMA Trade Show last …

I just saw (nearly two months too late) that About.com’s games section picked High Stakes Drifter as one of the Top 10 Stocking Stuffers of 2005. Perhaps this time of year, you can think about stuffing a game in a Valentine’s Day present instead. 🙂

WizKids has posted the prizes for the February events for High Stakes Drifter. It’s good to see them supporting the game so strongly, both with tournaments and cool prizes. I also got my designer’s copies of the game in the mail today: a couple displays full of starters and boosters. It looks to me like these might make great gifts …

InQuest Gamer has nominated High Stakes Drifter for Best Collectible Card Game of 2005. Get on down to their website and vote! (Please.) 🙂 I used to write for InQuest way back in the day. Mostly I handled industry news and the like, but I wrote one article about how to break into the industry that Robin Laws congratulated me …

The game should be in stores across America and beyond on November 23, this Wednesday. High Stakes Drifter is set in the American West. You play characters called “dudes” and …

The November 2005 issue of Game Trade Magazine has a High Stakes Drifter dude card bagged with it: Jesse Woodson James. While there’s nothing else about the game in the issue, the catalog portion shows details for my upcoming novels Dead Ball and The Road to Death, both of which arrive in stores in January. Only 10 more days until …

I got my copy of InQuest Gamer yesterday, and it included a promo card for High Stakes Drifter: none other than George Armstrong Custer. If you’re interested in High Stakes Drifter promos, hunt this down. Custer is one valuable dude. (Appropriately, though, he has only average Smarts and poor Luck.)

It seems that the people at WizKids have taken advantage of the slight delay in releasing High Stakes Drifter to post one bonus preview of the game. Stop by and see what “Cavalry Support” can do for your deck. This is just after Gen Con So Cal, but I suspect if you stop by the WizKids booth during the show, …

Due to some problems with getting the custom poker chips for the game made, WizKids has pushed back the official release date of High Stakes Drifter until November 23.
