dV Giochi Dvc 9100 Bang Fourth Edition

Good old fashioned Italian Spaghetti Western themed game. Recommended!

Here in the Midwest, there's a game we play called Mafia. In this game the players become part of a town where a few unsavory characters (the mafia) exist. Throughout the game, the mafia try to knock off all others (to win), while the townspeople, the sheriff and a nurse attempt to root out the mafia and save their town. Bang! takes Mafia, this game I grew up loving, to a wholly new level. In this basic set, one can play with up to 7 people (although I recommend 5 as the ideal number), and regardless of playing with 3 or 6, the game is still a lot of fun. It's fast-paced and entertaining and makes you strategize time and again as the game progresses. Additionally, and here's one huge drawing point for me, it's a very simple game -- both in pieces and rules. The game consists of cards, playing boards and bullets (to keep track of life), so it's a very travel-worthy game. Additionally, during a recent time with my family, I taught the game to my youngest brothers (aged 6 and 8) who readily learned the game and consequently played with a cutthroat edge I had hardly expected. Bang! appeals to all, and it's catchy enough that you'd play it over and over. For a quick rundown of how the game functions, please read on: As I said earlier, Bang! consists of a deck of cards, playing boards and bullets. The bullets simply keep track of health, and the playing boards show where all the cards and bullets lay. One could easily play without either of those items, although a certain dramatic flair would be lost. Coming to the cards, there are four kinds of cards used (I'm using generic names, by the way): 1. Role cards- these determine your objective for winning (or losing) the game. One can be the Sheriff (who must kill the Outlaws and Renegade), the Deputy (who must protect the Sheriff by helping to kill the Outlaws and Renegade), an Outlaw (who must kill the Sheriff) or the Renegade (who must be the last person standing). One trick of the game is that everyone (other than the Sheriff who begins with his/her role exposed) starts the game with this role card face down. Only the player him/herself knows his/her own role, thus for the few rounds, people simply shoot blindly at others. It's only through deduction and observation that roles can be known during gameplay. As someone dies, though, the role card is revealed to make sure the game needs to continue. 2. Character cards- the determine who a person is and what they can do. The character card determines one's maximum health (either 3 or 4 bullets), and each card has a special ability. For example, one person may have a character who gets to draw an extra card and choose which one to throw away. Another may have an ability to use certain cards interchangeably. There are 16 different characters in the basic game. 3. Blue-boarder cards- these are cards that, when played, remain on the board and either help or hinder a player. For example, in this game, the players' seating arrangement determines how far/close players are to one another. Gun cards are used to increase one's range in order to shoot opponents sitting farther away. There are other cards one would play to his/her own board to help him/herself, but there a few that can be played to hinder an opponent. For example, the Jail card, when played on anyone other than the Sheriff, causes that person to probably lose his/her next turn, and the Dynamite card can float around during the game until it explodes, at which time the owner of the card immediately loses 3 bullets. 4. Brown-boarder cards- these cards at the bulk of the playing deck. The are all of the action cards that one would play to attack, defend, make other discard cards, steal cards, draw extra cards or perform a few other, more particular actions. All in all, this is one of the best games I've ever played, and although I'm not the most avid of game players, I have Passed Go quite a few times. Happy gaming! bg

Easy to learn game- even my 10yr old picked it up quickly. Lotsa fun trying to figure out who’s who in this game!

Item as described

Fun game. Easy to learn. It will take more than 40 minutes to finish the game though. Game update: this game is way better than any other games and specially Resistance (cause I know people compare this to Resistance) 1. In Resistance the spies win 95% of the time. There are literally no rules so you can bluff as much as you want and do anything. In Bang, you can bluff as much as you like or tell the truth, but because you have cards, your actions are more limited than Resistance, and this makes Bang a better game. 2. In Bang you have so many minor rules that makes the game more exciting. 3. You can play this game with 3-7 people and 8 with the expansion. But unlike Resistance, people don't necessarily have to yell at each other. You can play bang for money if you like. In the beginning everyone pays $$. If the sheriff wins the sheriff and the deputy get the money and split it. If the outlaws win, they get the money and split it. If the renegade wins then only renegade gets the money, since renegade has the most difficult role in this game.
