Bang! Dodge City

Shooutout for eight

Dodge City is the second expansion for the card game Bang! The setting of the game is a satirical version of the Wild West. Each player secretly chooses a role (Sheriff, Deputy, Outlaw or Renegade) and a character with special abilities; only the player of the Sheriff is known to other players. You draw two cards and use a card to either assist yourself or you attack other characters within range. With “Bang” cards you shoot and you can deflect hits with “Missed” cards. If you are out of life points, you are out of the game. You win if you eliminate others: The Sheriff needs to eliminate Outlaws and Renegade, Outlaws the Sheriff and the Renegade needs to be the last one on the game.

The expansion now allows games for three players and also for up to eight players, introducing 15 new characters and 40 new cards, as well as eight new role cards for a game of eight players; those role cards replace those from the core game and introduce a second Renegade role. The two Renegade characters play independently from each other and each of them can only win if he is the last one in play.

Cards with a green border are played as usual, the card effect cannot be used in the same round in which the card was played, and the card is discarded after the effect was used. In a game of three the roles of Deputy, Outlaw and Renegade are used, with victory conditions of Deputy eliminating the Renegade, the Renegade eliminating the Outlaw and the Outlaw eliminating the Deputy. The winner is whoever achieves that goal first.

Bang! as we know it, the expansion varies and intensify play with new details, the three-player version is very clever.
