About the game
BANG! Dodge City is the second expansion for the classic BANG! series, turning a 3‑player game into a 3‑to‑8‑player showdown. The idea is simple: mix the original deck with two new decks, adding 15 unique characters and 40 action cards that spice up the game. Each character has a special ability—from buying extra cards to using "Missed!" cards strategically—and there are even two Renegades, opening the door to eight players. Green‑bordered cards are a fresh twist: played like blue cards but can only be used next turn, adding a timing element to bluffing. The Western theme stays true, with duels, gunfighters, and adrenaline‑filled fun, while the expansion ups the hand‑management and player‑elimination mechanics. If you love fast, strategic, Western‑themed games with a dash of humor, Dodge City will put you on the front line.

The rules stay the same but new card‑buying and green‑card usage rules mean you’ll need to keep a sharper eye on your turns. The expansion also adds new role cards that let up to eight players join, great for larger groups. Overall, BANG! Dodge City expands the fun, adds character variety, and keeps the frantic pace fans love.

In short, if you want more characters, more players, and more bluff‑strategies, this expansion is the right pick. Buckle up, load your cards, and get ready to fire a "BANG!" in Dodge City!
