Bang! The Bullet

This is my favorite game, I would play it at most any time. I'd skip out of work early if you asked me to play. :) A downside is that you can get out of the game very early (I've been "shot" to "death" and/or riddled with Indian arrows on a couple occasions before I even got a turn). Another downside (for some) is if the game takes an hour or more. However, if the outlaws try to start making their move earlier on it usually makes the game faster. I don't mind it either way. I enjoy the role play and trying to figure out who is on whose teams, trying to make the opponent think I am am on their team while letting the Sheriff know (very subtly, but fairly) that I am on HIS team, and the normal interaction that can occur during this game. Should not be a 'sit-and-think-and-never-talk-to-the-other-people-at-the-table type of game. We started handing out three character cards at the beginning and we each get to select two from those three. Dual-characters. Yes. "Slab-Willy-the-Kid" Combo? Yes, please. :) Haven't looked back. Great for witty people and more thoughtful (and patient) people. Great for people who love the Old Western theme. A chance to live out your dream of participating in an action packed Louis L'Amour story! Used to play this almost every day in college (18-30 year olds mostly). Typically, most of us (of about 15-20 people) would prefer 6-7 players (sometimes more), but most would be up for a game with a minimum of 5. You can mess around with 3 or 4 people, but...that is more for the 'die-hards' and not an accurate reflection of the game in its purest form. Hope this has been helpful to some. Lock and load!!! P.S. If anyone is in the NW Washington area and wants to play... Let me know!!!

This package contains the basic game and two expansions Dodge City and High Noon . It is an excellent acquisition. Outside the box it is pretty cool, although I have difficulty to put it on the shelf. A note for international buyers , because the shape of the box, a friend was stopped at the airport and had to open the suitcase to show that it was a game.

A nice light to medium card game that can get slightly confusing for newbies. Once you get the hang of it, though, you'll be dueling with your friends all night! It's a good deal to get the base game and a few expansions. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that the bullet storage is a bit small for anything else. I would have liked if it would fit more expansions more easily. That being said, this game itself is pretty great and has just enough strategy and thought-provoking options to keep new and old gamers entertained for hours. Highly recommended. If you're wanting a quicker paced version of Bang! that's a bit faster paced (you know, like a real shoot out) I'd recommend the dice game version of Bang! It's just as much fun!

If you're a fan of Bang!, this is probably the best deal. You may pay 50% more than the base game, but you'll get so much more. I never play without the Dodge City expansion (which doesn't really add much in the way of new mechanics), and it can speed the game up to play with Fistful of Cards or High Noon. The bullet itself is rather fragile. It is hard to find one without a dent. The card storage tray is a little flimsy, but has worked well for me (I was able to fit another expansions that I bought after this). The bullet also comes with a sheriff badge. It's kind of thematic and some people like to wear it. I've owned two copies of this game. Both of the badges broke easily. Don't expect too much from the badge. The game itself is like Mafia with cards. It has much better strategy than Mafia, and can be very surprising. I really like this game.

Bang! The Bullet comes packed with Bang (base game), plus the expansions Dodge City, High Noon, A Fistful of Cards and three new characters. If you played Bang! before and you enjoyed it but you don't own it, The Bullet is a good deal for the base game and the expansions (bought individually they would cost more). The presentation looks great, but storing the giant bullet can be a bit complicated.
