Bang the magnificent eight printable. Bang! The Magnificent Eight expansion

Board game Bang is a card game that will easily take you into a classic spaghetti western, with saloons, Indians and the obligatory shootouts!

How can the Sheriff survive?

Each player will take on one of the main roles (given at random), which will determine their goal in the game, as well as tactics and abilities.

There are four in total in the game various roles. This is the Sheriff, who will have to recognize and kill all the criminals, as well as the traitor at the same time. The Deputy Sheriff will have to protect the Sheriff at all costs - they have the same goal. The criminals should shoot the Sheriff and not shoot each other. And the Traitor is on his own - the main thing for him is to stay alive after the impending mess!

What creates intrigue and tension is that the player's role is kept secret, with the exception of the role of the Sheriff - everyone knows him, the local authority of the Law, after all. In addition to role cards, players also receive a character card - this is kept face up and determines your special abilities - there are more than 10 of these cards, so each game will be very different from the previous one.

All this, and also a simple but addictive combat system, guarantees that you will get unparalleled pleasure from the Bang board game!

Bang! Magnificent Eight

In the Wild West, life is in full swing - bright, noisy, wild and dangerous! The sound of a stray coin attracts criminals of all stripes and calibers, and shootouts are on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Only the most experienced or desperate sheriffs can protect law and order. Who has enough gunpowder to withstand the bandits - your accuracy and luck will decide!

About the add-on

“Bang! The Magnificent Eight is an expansion that will significantly improve and diversify the original base game. You will meet 15 new characters and get 40 game cards, but one of the main innovations, of course, is the ability to play with eight players!

Features of the add-on

In the expansion, among other things, you will find cards with new principles of their operation. New cards with a green border are delayed action cards whose effect will only work when the card is discarded. You'll also notice a new two-card discard symbol on some cards: in order for a card's effect to work, that card will need to be discarded along with any other card from your hand. In addition, you will enjoy short and dynamic rules for playing with three people and, of course, rules for a wild mess with eight players!

Bang! A few more cards

About the add-on

“Bang! A few more cards" is a small addition to the cult board game "Bang!" Now the cowboys are exposed to new independent events, which will certainly affect the course of the entire game! The dead rise from their graves, a train arrives in the city, undead spirits wander the streets, and Russian roulette is played in saloons.

Features of the add-on

The main feature of the add-on are events that affect all players. After the game starts, the player playing the role of Sheriff plays one of the expansion cards on each of his turns. The card's properties begin to affect all players immediately, until the next event card is played.

The addition is not bad. Adds a variety of game maps and new characters. Interesting mechanics of one-time cards that need to be prepared for use. At the same time, the cards themselves, despite the complexity of their use, are not particularly effective, sometimes duplicating already existing cards.
However, in my opinion, "Valley of Shadows" and "A Few Cards More" bring a lot more fun to the game.

Green cards add a lot of efficiency. For an active player, this is an opportunity to get more impact force without sacrifices in the form of other cards (remember about the hand limit). For other players, this is, on the one hand, an opportunity to understand the player’s intentions (if a person has laid out a knife, then he will not be afraid to use it), and on the other hand, an opportunity to react to this. Which is again good for an active player - he will lose the knife, not the hard drive. Or he can take revenge on his neighbor for losing his hard drive)

Great addition. More interesting characters, more standard cards, and most importantly - green delayed action cards. Your opportunities are expanding because... there is no need to keep 10 “bangs” in your hands with a hand limit of two cards, but players also have the opportunity to react in time. More tactics, more psychologically intense combat and more roleplaying. And you don’t need to lay out or replace anything from basic set or somehow relearn the conditions for playing basic cards!

Verdict: this is what a real addition should be - it adds depth to the current gameplay, but does not break your favorite mechanics. Definitely a wine!

A very cool addition, I recommend it to everyone. 8 has only been played a few times, but the green cards are worth buying this add-on even if you have a small company and never end up with 8 players.

Cards with green border!

Help me to understand!
Written:
"These cards are placed face down in front of the players.
up, like blue-bordered cards, but their effects apply
only when discarded (as a one-shot card with a brown border).
Such a card cannot be discarded on the same turn in which it
was played out."
For example, I put it in front of me on my turn. Then the turn is passed to the player on the left. And he shoots me with a bang! Can I use the green card property (for example, bypass) now? Or should I wait a whole circle until it comes to me again?

The limit is only on your own turn.
"Each card with a green border has a symbol for its effect. Not in your
turn, only cards with the “Miss!” effect can be played. "

They laid out, if a card with the “miss” effect and another player’s turn in which an attack is made on you, you have the right to use this green card.
If there is no “by” effect on the card, then you will have to wait for your next turn to activate the card you have laid out.

When another fight breaks out in a Texas saloon, respectable citizens run away in panic, fleeing the fists and bullets of reckless fighters. Only true cowboys, having learned about another brawl, rush into the thick of things as fast as they can and take an active part in it. After all, the more bullets whistle overhead, the merrier! Today on the Pink Sofa - an addition to the board game "Bang!", "The Magnificent Eight".

If your friends are still standing in line at the gaming table to replace their hobby comrades riddled with bullets, then don’t make them wait - add new cards to the game and sit down at the table with eight of you! From now on, walking on the prairies and going into local saloons will become doubly dangerous, as the number of people who want to shoot you in the back has increased...

Most recently, the publishing house "World of Hobby" released the first addition to the magnificent card game"Bang!" - a global bestseller that has won the hearts of desperate guys around the world. With basic rules base game You can get acquainted by reading my previous review " ", and in this article I offer a closer look at an addition that significantly changes the game.

A standard small box housed a stack of cards, a tablet, a couple of cardboard tokens and the rules of the game. All components will easily fit into the base box, so there is no need to look for space on the shelf for a new container.

Let me remind you that the tablet and cardboard bullets are present only in the domestic publication, for which we should thank Hobby World. To be honest, we never used the tablet, but the four additional ammo markers came in handy.

Since a new shooter enters the game, he is entitled to an individual reminder card. Useful reference material, which this time... is printed on a brown background, making the text difficult to read from a distance. The purpose for which such a controversial design was chosen will remain forever a mystery.

The expansion contains a full set of role cards (including the sheriff who was hunting the criminal and was not captured). I note that the roles and regular cards mixed into the general deck, so I was able to find all the participants in the shootout only by thoroughly “combing” the pile. As you can see, the background has become brown (the new cards look more beautiful), and a bison icon has appeared in the upper right corner (the expansion cards are marked with it).

Note: to assess the quality of localization, the photographs contain cards from the original edition.

Appears in the game new type cards with a green border, their placement on the table is similar to long-term cards with a blue border. The properties listed on new cards can only be used once, after which the card is discarded (similar to a brown frame). At the bottom of the picture are special symbols with action tips.

As the number of players has increased, dynamite has been added to the deck, special means to reduce the distance to opponents, several shelters and a small arsenal of shotguns and revolvers.

The saloon became even hotter, as evidenced by the brown cards. Sip whiskey while listening to cheerful music and take part in a fight without weapons, relying only on your fists. In this case, significant damage will be caused to the enemy...

The bar has been replenished with drinks, and now, in addition to a glass of beer, you can taste exotic tequila or drink a glass of revitalizing whiskey.

In the vastness of the Wild West you will meet 15 new characters who will surprise you with their special properties. You will have to deal with a cynical undertaker, who receives 2 health units for each killed opponent; the elusive Elena, who can use any card as a “miss”; influential Belle Star, canceling the properties of all special cards... There will be no time to be bored.

The remaining rules remain unchanged, the addition is mixed into the base deck and used along with the other cards. The booklet also contains amendments to the rules for three and eight player shootouts.

Shooting first.

"Each clip may contain a blank cartridge" - the last thought in the shootout...

If you're a fan of the base game, The Magnificent Eight is definitely a must-have in your collection. There’s nothing to think about here - go to the store for a box of bison and add new experiences to the game.

And I’ll move on to the shortcomings that, alas, are present in the localized version of the game. And there are two such “minuses”.

First note: the border is no longer made in the form of a frame, but is filled to the edge of the card. This is unacceptable, especially when playing with professionals - if you look closely, you can see what type of cards are in the pile and what your opponent will take. This effect is especially pronounced when using protective protectors.

Second note: the card backs are different from the first edition, as can be seen from the photograph. In my opinion, this is not such a strong “minus” to draw attention to it, but for the sake of objectivity I must note it. Looking at the deck, you will know for sure whether you are taking a card from the base or drawing an addition card.

Despite the above, I replaced all the cards of the original edition with localization cards, since the addition from Hobby World removes the language barrier that is present in our game cell. Considering that we play for fun and don’t count cards, no one except me noticed the shortcomings of the edition...

Explanations for these “cons” from “Hobby World”:

Changes were made to the original edition regarding the design of the cards. Localization is carried out in accordance with the amendments.

The game presented in the review is in the store's assortment" Hobby Games", whose sellers will advise and help you choose the product you are interested in.

Green cards add a lot of efficiency. For an active player, this is an opportunity to get more striking power without sacrificing other cards (remember about the hand limit). For other players, this is, on the one hand, an opportunity to understand the player’s intentions (if a person has laid out a knife, then he will not be afraid to use it), and on the other hand, an opportunity to react to this. Which is again good for an active player - he will lose the knife, not the hard drive. Or he can take revenge on his neighbor for losing his hard drive)

Great addition. More interesting characters, more standard cards, and most importantly - green delayed action cards. Your opportunities are expanding because... there is no need to keep 10 “bangs” in your hands with a hand limit of two cards, but players also have the opportunity to react in time. More tactics, more psychologically intense combat and more roleplaying. Moreover, you don’t need to lay out or replace anything from the basic set or somehow relearn the conditions for playing basic cards!

Verdict: this is what a real addition should be - it adds depth to the current gameplay, but does not break your favorite mechanics. Definitely a wine!
