*Howdy, everybody, there comes a time when you just cannot deny the mess that is going to happen.

Cause there's a new Sheriff in town, and the name is BANG!*

If you don't know what the game is about (where have you been?), here is a small recap.

If you are already familiar with this epic showdown, you can skip to the end of this summary.

The card game BANG! recreates an old-fashioned spaghetti western shoot-out, with each player randomly receiving a Character card to determine special abilities, and a secret Role card to determine their goal.

Four different Roles are available, each with a unique victory condition:

Sheriff - Kill all Outlaws and the Renegade

Deputy - Protect the Sheriff and kill any Outlaws

Outlaw - Kill the Sheriff

Renegade - Be the last person standing

A player's Role is kept secret, except for the Sheriff. Character cards are placed face up on table, and they also track strength (hand limit) in addition to the special ability.

There are 22 different types of cards in the draw deck. The most common are the BANG! cards, which let you shoot at another player, assuming the target is within "range" of your current gun. The target player can play a "MISSED!" card to dodge the shot. Other cards can provide temporary boosts while in play (for example, different guns to improve your firing range) and special one-time effects to help you or hinder your opponents (such as Beer to restore health, or Barrels to hide behind during a shootout). A horse is useful for keeping your distance from unruly neighbors, while the Winchester can hit a target at range 5. The Gatling is a deadly exception where range doesn't matter: it can only be used once, but targets all other players at the table!

Of course, this would not have been possible without the outstanding work done by Tisaac, KuWizard and Ginso.

And obvisouly, we want to also thank the DV Gioci team as well as the game designer, Emiliano Sciarra, for their autorization to have the game on the platform.

Be warned: like in Werewolves, there will be a lot of puns and thematic conversation during the game, and while our moderators will keep an eye on what is being said, this is not a game for the faint-hearted. 😉

*Have a good week and see you next Wednesday!
