About the game
What you do in a play session
On your turn, you'll draw cards and use them to shoot opponents, heal wounds, or equip upgrades. 'BANG!' cards allow you to fire at other players within range of your current weapon, but beware: a well-played 'MISSED!' can dodge the shot. The arsenal is varied, from simple pistols that increase your range to more powerful weapons like the Winchester, which reaches targets at a greater distance. And there's the Gatling, which, despite being single-use, hits all other players at the table – pure chaos! In addition to weapons, you can find cards like 'Beer' to recover health points, 'Barrel' to protect yourself, or even a 'Horse' to keep your distance from your neighbors. With universal symbols on the cards and reference cards, it's easy to jump into the action and find out who will be the last gunslinger standing.
