Bang - The Bullet

A sheriff, outlaws and a renegade clash in the ruthless Wild West. While the outlaws want to eliminate the sheriff, the renegade aims to kill the outlaws and take the sheriff's place. The roles of the players are secret except that of the sheriff, which is unveiled at the beginning of the game after the random distribution of the role cards. Before facing each other in relentless duels, players receive a character card that includes their character's characteristics and health points.

In each round, players draw two cards and play as many cards as they like. However, you can only play one Bang card per turn and activate only one weapon at a time. The number of cards a player can keep in hand at the end of his turn also depends on his health points (a player with 2 health points can only keep 2 cards).

Brown-edged action cards allow you to draw additional cards (Convois, Diligences), shoot your opponents (Bang, Duel), etc.

These cards are discarded after use. Blue-edged cards are offensive or defensive accessories (Remington, Planque) that are activated by placing them in front of you. At the beginning of the game, players can only attack their immediate neighbors. Acquiring a weapon will allow them to shoot more players by increasing the range of their shots.

The game ends when the sheriff dies. If the renegade is alone in the game, he wins. Otherwise, it's the outlaws who win. Conversely, if the sheriff is the last survivor, he wins the game.

Dodge City offers the ability to play 3 and 8 instead of 4 to 7 in the original game.

The "High Noon" and "Additional Card Handle" extensions each contain about 15 event cards that affect players' actions.
