Super Fun and Easy to be a day trader....
This is a really fun lightweight game, that has more depth and replayability than I first thought. I really enjoyed it every time I've played it so far (4 times) and look forward to owning it soon. I really like how distilled down the trading experience is. It's not over simplified, but really simplified to the right amount. Anyone can pick up and play this game. It takes the intimidation right out of it. plus the variable players that you can start the game with give you different powers and therefore change the strategy on how you play each game slightly. There is an expansion to the game I haven't tried yet but I expect it to be great as well.

A unique spin on the "deck builder". I like that instead of building a deck of cards, you are building a bag of dice. Each die has a different "spell" with a different power depending on how you roll. The game has the potential to be different every time you play, depending on the expansions you have. The fighting mechanic is well done and easy to maneuver. I would suggest using the "mat" included on the back of the instructions as sometimes it is hard to remember what has been spent and what is locked or on deck.

If you like to have complete sets of games and own all the expansions (like my friends and I do), it's good to know that the Light and Dark expansion doesn't really play well when mixed with the rest of the game. It does work as a stand alone though.

Bang is social deduction, for people who don't like social deduction. It becomes fairly obvious early on who is on which team, and that might be something that some people like. Beyond the first round, there is virtually no lieing.

Thankfully, the game makes up for this with the other mechanics. As long as you have the expansions, there is enough variety for the game to be fun. Without the expansions, the cards are very bland.

Speaking of expansions, the High Noon expansion is necessary if you want to play more than one game. It adds variety to each round, and is actually what differentiates Bang from other social deduction games for us.

Overall, if you are looking for a social deduction game, this is probably not what you want. But we still find the game is fun, and does occasionally make it to our table.
