Bang

I have seen this game recommended lots in various threads. I have been looking on amazon and there are quite a few versions. Deluxe, dice, fourth edition.

Which is the one to go for?

Good question, as far as I know these are the differences:

Bang deluxe
Comes in a fancy tin (which is a pain to store) includes the base game and the following expansions:

• BANG! A Fistful of Cards
• BANG! Claus "The Saint"
• BANG! Dodge City
• BANG! High Noon
• BANG! Johnny Kisch
• BANG! Uncle Will

Bang 4th Edition
Is just the base game in a box

Bang the dice game
Is a re-implementation of the core rules of Bang to use dice instead of cards.

I guess which version you go for depends on how much you like expansions, or dice. Or if it's just the base game concept that interested you.

Thanks for that I think I might just go for the dice version for now as I have a few other card based games and see how I get on

Can say I thoroughly enjoyed the base card game but it may be worth checking the quality of the rules in the more recent editions.

The version I played had the original rules written in Italian and then translated to English but apparently only by someone who had never spoken a word of either!

Made for a trying experience but we got there in the end!

The Dice game has been on my want list for a while. Let me know how you get on with it.

I played Halo Bang! a few weeks ago. I'd say it's an improvement, especially if you get into the mood and start issuing online shooter style disses when you hit or block someone.

The dice version does seem to review slightly better than the card based versions, I think it speeds the game up a little.
