About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a Wild West shootout with BANG! The Bullet!, a souped-up version of the classic card game! This special edition comes in a box shaped like a revolver bullet – talk about style! Inside, you'll find the base BANG! game (with updated cards and rules), plus the Dodge City, High Noon, and A Fistful of Cards expansions, all designed to make the Wild West even more chaotic and fun.

Each player assumes a secret role: you might be the Sheriff, trying to maintain order, their loyal Deputy, the outlaw duo aiming to take down the Sheriff, or the Renegade, who has their own sinister plans. Your mission? Eliminate opponents according to your role, using shooting cards and defending yourself with miss cards. But beware, because nobody truly knows who's who, and betrayal can come from unexpected places!

With unique character powers, hand management to plan your moves, and a healthy dose of bluffing and deduction, BANG! The Bullet! guarantees quick games full of twists and turns. It's perfect for those who enjoy a game with a Western theme, a bit of cunning, and plenty of direct player interaction. The complexity is low, the playtime is short (around 20 to 40 minutes), and it can accommodate a good number of players, from 3 to 8 wild west enthusiasts. If you're already a fan of BANG! or want an exciting introduction to the genre, this special edition is a must-have!
