I've played it. It's a fun little boardgame, a good way to occupy the 
early posse while you wait for the stragglers, I think.

Linking it to Deadlands the RPG would be difficult. It's just a 
different kind of game. Deadlands (D20, Classic, Gurps) is an RPG, 
whereas Deadlands Frag is a boardgame that simulates a first person 
shooter video game that happens to be running a Deadlands mod.

It's competitive, with no GM/Referee/Marshall really and intentionally 
takes on both the frantic nature and memes of the hard core 
Quake/Halflife/etc. gamers. For example, scoring a kill gets you a card 
that amy allow you to hack the game, use lag as a weapon, etc.
