Da Vinci Bang, 4th Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is really simple to learn to play and doesn't require much thought during play. Games can always be pretty quick compared to games with more elaborate board setups like Settlers of Catan. The fun is in the subterfuge in trying to figure out who's on your team and who's trying to kill you off while everyone is scheming to win. And of course... there's something to be said for juvenile humor as players try to "Bang!" each other to death. The cards all have Italian as well as English on them - I think a nod to spaghetti westerns, of which some were filmed in Italy.
My only complaint with this version of the game doesn't have as many cards as I would like. I would have gotten the "bullet" version of the game (up to 8 players) where the game comes in a big bullet shaped container if I had known better.

BANG (La Pallottola) The Bullet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an incredibly entertaining game, reminiscent of the cardless "mafia" game many of us played in junior high and high school. It has become the game of choice among my friends and me in the last few months. Each player is dealt a role that he or she plays in the game (sheriff, deputy, outlaw, or renegade). All the roles are secret, except for the sheriff's. Game play proceeds as players eliminate each other in hopes of doing what is best for their role. The sheriff tries to stay alive and kill the outlaws and renegade(s). Outlaws try to kill the Sheriff, and so on. It gets pretty addictive and aggravating at the same time, but in a very good way.
Just read the rules and deal everyone the picture-instruction cards, and the game is relatively easy to understand. The game is the most fun when you have about 5 or 6 players. It doesn't make much sense with 4 (too easy to guess others' roles), and the pace slows a lot with 7 or 8 unless everyone is paying attention and knows the rules.
One small downside to the game is that it is an elimination game--when you die, you're out of the game/round until either the Sheriff/deputies or renegade(s) or the outlaws win. Usually this doesn't take very long, but it always sucks to be the first one out. When I play, I usually usually go through at least 3 or 4 rounds during one sitting. Also, for very conservative families, it might be noteworthy that "beer" and "whisky" cards heal your character.
Bang! The Bullet comes with several expansion packs that keep the game interesting and add new rules/restrictions that change up game play. Start with the core game first as you learn. Then you can add expansions later. It also comes with a nifty badge that Sheriff gets to wear.
