Bang! The Card Game
Bang! is a hidden-role card game set in the Wild West, built for 4–7 players. Each player is secretly a Sheriff, Deputy, Outlaw, or Renegade, and games typically run 20–45 minutes once everyone knows the roles.
How it plays
Everyone gets a secret role and a character with a unique ability. The Sheriff and Deputies must eliminate the Outlaws; the Outlaws are hunting the Sheriff; the Renegade just wants to be the last one standing. Since roles stay hidden until a player is eliminated, most of the fun comes from reading the table and bluffing your way through the shootout.
