Fun, history, art
What Is Farro Game In Old West
Wichita Faro is the first and only free online faro game on the Web. But it is more than that. It is a piece of American history, and a work of art. In designing the game, every effort was made to recapture the authentic excitement and atmosphere of the game as it was played in that bygone era.
The visual design of Wichita Faro owes more to the real world of oak, brass, paper and ink than to the videogame world of rectangles and pixels. And the sound effects usually associated with computer games — beeps and chimes and such — are nowhere to be found; in their place are the real noises of a faro game in a busy saloon.
So, if you're ready to explore this small corner of a lost world (and if you've got Flash Player 8 or higher), we offer you Wichita Faro. Good luck, friend. (Click here to play Wichita Faro.)
