D6 Shooters is a solo Old West Campaign game. The format could be adapted to a wide variety of periods and settings.
The d6 Shooters are a famous Old West posse, and you are their leader. In this solitaire Print-and-Play series, you will lead your posse on several adventures and missions, using a Yahtzee-style dice system to gain resources, movement and perform other important actions. There is always danger near, and your journeys will be very challenging to complete, but there is also the potential for great reward with untapped gold deposits among the California lands where you travel.

Wyoming Cowboy is an interesting little game played with regular playing cards:
In Wyoming Cowboy, players take actions and collect combinations of cards which have various positive and negative point values. The object of the game is to be the first player to accumulate 500 points. Normal playing cards are used and there are no partners. (Cowboys, of course, ride the range on their own; it’s a solitary life.) The length of games, length of hands, number of hands in a game, number of points in a hand, and number of cards in a hand will all vary dramatically as players attempt to reach the 500 mark.

Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.
The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.
Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.
For pictures, visit the gallery.
Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
