About the game
Get ready for more chaos and shootouts in the Wild West with BANG! The Dice Game: Undead or Alive, an expansion that injects an extra dose of adrenaline into your favorite dice game! This beauty brings five different modules that you can mix and match as you please, ensuring each game is a new adventure. Forget the mundane, because now we have eight new enraged gunslingers, each with their own abilities to turn the tables. But the real kicker is the two new duel dice. If you lose a confrontation, it's not just honor that goes down the drain: you gain a duel wound token, which can cancel your future rolls. Also, keep an eye out for the whiskey bottle on the dice! If you roll one and have no wounds to discard, or if you take heavy damage, prepare to draw a rage card, which adds even more insane symbols to your dice results. And for larger groups, starting with four players, the "Undead or Alive" module introduces a boneyard card deck. If the boneyard overflows with corpses, beware: a zombie outbreak might be about to begin, turning the shootout into a true battle for survival against the undead! It's the perfect expansion for those who already love BANG! The Dice Game and want to supercharge the experience with more strategy, bluffing, and a lot, lot of mayhem.
