About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, folks! Ready to spice up your Bang! with this awesome expansion, Gold Rush? If you dig the base game and crave more action, this one's for you. It throws in eight brand-new characters to add that extra flavor to your games, each with their own tricks and powers that'll change how you play. But that's not all! Gold Rush introduces two game-changing novelties: gold and equipment. Now, besides shooting all over the place, you can collect gold nuggets to buy items that grant you new abilities and help you devise smarter strategies. Imagine a duel with a souped-up revolver or a shiny new armor! And for those who think dying in Bang! is the end of the line, check out the Shadow Gunslinger variant: even when taken down, you can temporarily return to take your turn and mess with the living. It's a chance for an eliminated player to still influence the final outcome, shooting from beyond the grave! With new equipment cards and characters that do a bit of everything, Gold Rush adds layers of depth and fun, while keeping the speed and madness we love about Bang!. It's perfect for those who want more variety and plot twists in their games without overcomplicating the rules. Get ready for more bluffing, more shooting, and, who knows, maybe more gold in your stash!
