The Duel, get ready for more excitement with the Renegades expansion! This gem introduces four new ways to play, boosting two-player matches and introducing a brand-new mode for three players. For duos, we have two variations of 'The Third Group' mode and one called 'Reinforcements,' each with its own tricks and challenges. For those who enjoy a three-way showdown, the 'Mexican Standout' mode promises to put everyone in the crosshairs. The big new feature is the 'Resources' cards, which come with a green border. Think of them as special equipment: you can play them on your rearguard or even on your opponent's character, but the catch is they only start taking effect from the next turn onwards. Unlike regular equipment (blue-bordered), these cards require a bit more tactical planning. They add an extra layer of strategy, forcing you to think ahead and anticipate your rivals' moves. With these additions, BANG! The Duel gets a refresh, offering more variety and twists to keep the fun going strong. It's the perfect choice for those who want to extend the lifespan of the base game and explore new tactics in the virtual Wild West. ## FAQ ### Do I need the base game BANG!
