About the game
What you do in a play session
Meet Bloody Mary, a special addition for those who already enjoy the Wild West chaos of BANG! This promotional character card, which first appeared in Spielbox #6 of 2016, introduces a game-changing ability: every time your BANG! card is Missed!, you draw an extra card from the deck. Imagine the advantage! This same ability, with different artwork, also shows up in the BANG! Armed & Dangerous expansion. Although the exact card text might vary slightly between versions (one mentions 'cancelled,' another 'Missed!'), the intention is clear: to give you an extra boost when your shot goes awry.
With BANG! Bloody Mary, the base game's fun gets an extra kick. It's the kind of card that rewards persistence and can help you recover from an attack that seemed to hit its mark. If you're already a fan of the BANG! series and love the twists characters bring, this card is a gem. It doesn't radically alter the experience but adds an extra layer of strategy and surprise, especially in longer games or when luck doesn't seem to be on your side. It's one of those additions that makes you think: 'What if I had this card earlier?'
