The feel of it

Why it lands at the table

Bang is the Italian card game of the Wild West with hidden roles. The Sheriff is known to everyone; deputies, outlaws and a renegade hide among the other players.

Shots are fired across the table, distance matters, and every play is a clue about whose side someone is on. Wrong guesses are common, and funny.

For four to seven, in about half an hour.

The rules, briefly

How it plays

  1. 01

    Deal secret roles; the Sheriff reveals himself.

  2. 02

    Each turn, draw two cards and play as many as you like: shots, misses, beer, guns, horses.

  3. 03

    You can shoot players within range.

  4. 04

    Lose all your bullets and you are out, revealing your role.

  5. 05

    The Sheriff's side wins if the outlaws and renegade fall; the outlaws if the Sheriff does.
