If one could take the evocative themes inspired in many of the "spaghetti" Western movies and cram it into one game, that game would be Bang! Bang! is a tremendous card game; not only because it can handle up to seven players, but also because players are attempting to guess which are the vile outlaws, which are the sheriff's loyal deputies, and which is the treacherous renegade. Gameplay is simple and thematic, as players attempt to eliminate each other and accomplish their team's goals. Games last fifteen minutes; and players will quickly succumb to the theme, laughing and having a great time, as they either try to protect or kill the sheriff. Special characters, humorous cards, and more make this one of the best group games on the market.

Bang! is a blast!

This game is very fun. The mechanics of the game are well done. The game does a great job of promoting social interaction, such as light hearted trash talking.

I have taught this game to about 25 of my adult friends. They are a little intimidated at first, but after 2, or 3 games, they are completely hooked. The more times you play it, the better it gets. It plays very fast, once you don't have to stop and interpret every card.

I love this game so much, that I am going to give it a gift to my clients.

The only confusing elements to the game, are the distance modifiers on the horses, and hideouts. It boils down to this; -1 is offensive, and +1 is defensive. They could have done a better job of communicating this.

However, you must buy this one. It is one of my favorite games ever.

Awesome Fun	Alan Moreira Dec 06, 2004
This game is excellent fun. It is fast pace and always loads of action. My one complaint is that people slowly get knocked out of the game, so they have to sit and watch. This is not all that bad because the game lasts only around 15 minutes.
