How about cats in the old west? It's a puzzle game that uses 8-sided dice (with a variant for regular 6-sided dice). Pairs of numbers are placed in adjacent squares of a grid (sort of like a domino). Get bonuses, nab thievin' varmints, make a high scoring yarn.

I used to play this simple game with my kids when they were young. My wife illustrated this holiday version and I updated the files in 2025.

Note for cutting out the cards: The Life Drain cards are 2" x 2". The other cards are all 2.5" x 3.5". Instead of having lines between all cards, the sheet is designed so you can cut the top and right edges using the crop lines. Then cut cards according to their size.
