About the game
Get ready for more Wild West chaos and fun with BANG! Wild West Show!, an expansion that injects an extra dose of madness into the base game. If you thought the West was already wild, wait until you meet the new gunslingers who have arrived to stir up trouble! This expansion introduces eight brand-new characters, each with their own crazy quirks. Meet Flint Westwood, who can steal cards from others' hands; Big Spencer, a powerhouse with nine life points who can't use 'Missed!' cards; and Teren Kill, who insists on coming back from the afterlife even when taken down. Beyond characters, the expansion introduces 'Wild West Show!' cards, which act like scenario cards and change the game's rules in unpredictable ways. Imagine playing 'Missed!' cards as 'Bang!' or vice versa, or dealing with effects that alter the table dynamics until they're discarded. There's a card that makes you swap places with another player, one that forces you to play more cards, and even one that brings everyone back from the grave! It's a whirlwind of novelties ensuring no two games are alike. The complexity increases slightly, but the fun is guaranteed for those who already enjoy BANG!'s Western shootout and bluffing atmosphere. Brace yourself for unfair duels and unexpected twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
