PLAYED FOR YOU

Bang!

The Valley of Shadows

Showdown in Wild West. Each player chooses a secret role (Sheriff, Deputy, Outlaw or Renegade) and a character with special abilities; only the Sheriff is known. You draw two cards and use them to assist yourself, maybe to acquire a horse or a weapon, or you attack another character within your range. “Bang” is used to shoot; your target may use “Missed” to defend himself. With 0 life points you are out of the game. You win if you eliminate your targets: The Sheriff all Outlaws and the Renegade; Outlaws the Sheriff and the Renegade must be the last one standing.

In The Valley of Shadows with 8 new characters and 16 new cards the Wild West heroes meet rattlesnakes, tornados and banditos, maybe even the ghosts of their enemies return to haunt them.

You shuffle the cards into the core game; the new characters mostly influence Bang!, the shooting action, for instance Evelyn Shebang is a cute effects, with her you can renounce drawing cards and - for each card that you did not draw - you can shoot once at a target within range. The other cards relate to various game situations; a Rattlesnake for instance, stays in play, even if it already dealt damage, and is resolved in the order of Dynamite - Jail - Rattlesnake. With Escape you can even escape from cards that influence several players, and Tomahawk works over distances 1 and 2.

This expansion does not differ much from others, the special feature of it is that is was first published in the Czech Republic by Albi as a fan-created edition, supported by the designer of the core game, and that it took a few years before it was published by dV Giochi in 2014.
