[Canned Turkey]

I'm making a card game for 3-6 people, and I don't know which name sounds better.
A wild west shoot out game, each name has pros and cons.

Gunslinger
pro: Makes each player feel like THEY are THE gunslinger
con: Might sound a bit personal, like it's a singleplayer game

Gunslingers
pro: Obviously a wild west game with more than one person playing
con: Doesn't have that "ring" to it like without the s.

I really can't decide, so I thought you guys could help.

i'd go for Gunslinger, it has that nice ring that you mentioned.
but what about a more impersonal name, like "Wanted" or something?

Gunslinger is better, since it's assumed that the person who wins (if there is such a thing) is the one and only gunslinger. More competitive, in a sense. Of course, there's Settlers of Catan which often becomes fiercely competitive, so I guess it can work either way.

I think i'll go without the s.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Gunsluggers, because everyone is a slug.  Except one guy with armor, he's a snail.

How about "Showdown," since it better implies the strife between the players, rather than their role? It's both personal, since you're taking part in one, and transparent that it's going to be multiplayer, and going to be competitive.
