SeabassDebeste 03/12/18 1:36:01 PM #474:	35. BANG! The Dice Game https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/143741/bang-dice-game Genre/mechanics: Dice-rolling, push-your-luck, hidden roles, team-vs-team Rules complexity: 4/10 Game length: 10-20 minutes Player count: 3-8 Experience: 5-8 plays with 6-8 players First played: 2015 A sheriff with a deputy. A team of hidden outlaws. One desperate renegade. On your turn, you roll and re-roll a bunch of dice, which let you deal damage, heal wounds, or most annoyingly, acquire an arrow (which sticks, even if re-rolled). Each character also has a special power. Last team standing wins. Design - BTDG reimplements BANG!, an Italian card game featuring much of the same - the same three parties, hidden roles, and similar abilities. A colossal difference here is that defense is essentially not a strategy. Whereas BANG! could have a player eliminated in ten minutes while a game took forty, the arrow mechanic in BTDG, specifically, makes that nearly impossible. You still get to roleplay your secret alignment for a while, but once the Indians strike you and eat half your health in one go, it won't matter how much beer you're trying to drink to restore your health. Enjoyment - I haven't played BTDG in years, and that makes me sad. It was another game early into my gaming experience, and I think I might appreciate it even more now. It was a game impossible to take seriously due to the swinginess of the dice and arrows. But it was effortless to learn, effortless to play, and hilariously mean. Replay - I'd absolutely love to play this again. Gotta tell the people who own it to bring it next time we have a sizable gathering! Bonus question - What is your favorite reimplementation of a game? Hint for #34 - a classic euro with a shocking twist. --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness <cite>SeabassDebeste posted [p:897657360] in eighty tab...
