Mayday Games worked with Stardock Entertainment in order to create the online game to be as close as possible to the tabletop game, but there are some slight differences. In the tabletop (physical) version of Dead Man's Draw, players may cause a Bust from the actions taken when playing a Map, Sword or Hook Suit Ability.^[5]
