Bang! has been around for some time now and on store
shelves in Europe for years (I remember seeing it there in almost every department store I have been in). In the game you take on the role of sheriff, deputy, outlaw or renegade, each with their own set of goals in order to win the game. The game is a turn-based card game structure with a variety of card types and an expansion pack.
Since Bang! The Spaghetti Western Board Game is set in the wild west, there is, of course, gunslinging which is the whole point of the game. The sheriff and the deputy have to work together to kill the others. The outlaws want to kill the sheriff and the renegade needs to kill everyone else with the sheriff being last. The problem is, at the beginning of the game you know only your role and who the sheriff is. The game can have 3-8 players. In three player there’s no sherrif just deputy, outlaw and renegade. Deputy must kill renegade who must kill outlaw who must kill deputy.
You can also take on a specific character role with each having their own special ability. The Brown cards are normal cards each with a specific purpose like bang to shoot at someone, missed to not be injured, beer to get back one health bit (woo!) and others. Blue cards are permanent, you play them on the table and are in effect until they run their course, are stolen or removed. These are things like a barrel which gives you a chance to take no damage when shot at, scope which decreases shot distance to others, mustang which increases your distance (further away so some might not be able to shoot you).
