Fingerprint: Six colour-coded player score boxes around edge, each with engraved revolver and yellow number (1-6), "SIX / SHOOTER" in enormous yellow letters centre-top, red cursive company script above and "6 PLAYER" beneath, single large cartoon cowboy in tan hat, red shirt, bright yellow trousers in gunfight stance centre-bottom, two cowboys partially stacked behind, green hillside town, flat painted cartoon, wild west theme

Distinctive

Six colour-coded player score boxes ring the edges of the card, each paired with a pale engraved revolver and a yellow numbered disc, so the numbering runs around the whole border rather than across one line. The enormous two-line yellow title SIX / SHOOTER sits dead centre-top under a red cursive company script and the words 6 PLAYER. A single big cartoon cowboy in a tan hat, red shirt and vivid yellow trousers stands centre-bottom in a gunfight stance with two more cowboys stacked behind him. Six engraved revolver illustrations, one per player panel, point outward from the middle like a border motif.

Full description

A six-player score panel printed as a Wild-West street scene. Six separate score windows are arranged in two vertical columns of three down the left and right edges, each in a coloured box (top-left red, top-right pink/magenta, mid-left and mid-right blue, bottom-left pink, bottom-right red), each headed by yellow-and-white lettering reading 1ST PLAYER through 6TH PLAYER and each with a yellow numbered disc (1 to 6) above it. Between the windows stand pale blue-grey revolver illustrations pointing outward, one per player box, drawn as engraved line art. The centre top carries the maker name in red cursive script, followed by 6 PLAYER in yellow block caps, above the huge two-line title SIX / SHOOTER in yellow with black shadow. The background shows a green hillside town with red and white frontier buildings, picket fences and a pale blue sky, with several tiny cowboy figures duelling and running in the middle distance. In the foreground a large cowboy in a tan wide-brim hat, red patterned shirt and bright yellow trousers stands legs apart holding a revolver, with two more partially hidden cowboys behind him. Bottom centre reads BALL IN PLAY in red caps over a brown ground area, flanked by red banners reading 1-2-3-4-5-6 CAN PLAY and IT'S MORE FUN TO COMPETE. Art style is flat painted cartoon illustration on a beige card background.
