In the old West, a lot of rumors travel far; voices of epic adventures and stories that are recounted at sunset. They tell of heroes, crooks, and lost places in the desert.
As we mentioned in previous news, there are at least 2 more expansions for the game BANG! waiting for us, and we already have information about the first of them: BANG! Legends. This expansion lets you play as a “Legendary” version of the classic BANG! characters and discover new lethal abilities.
Feat cards are placed in the center of the table and offer actions to perform or boast about. To do so, you'll use colored wooden fame counters unique to your character. When your fame is known everywhere, turn your card over and begin using your extraordinary Legend abilities!
An example of such a Feat is The Last Hero, which requires discarding a blue card in play. Slab The Killer can thus become a Legend whose BANG! cannot be canceled. Suzy Lafayette, on the other hand, will always be able to draw so that she has at least 2 cards.
This expansion introduces 16 legendary characters (to swap with the characters in the base game), 16 Feat cards, and 35 wooden Fame tokens in 7 different shapes and colors.
Last year BANG! celebrated the twentieth anniversary and while in the Czech Republic we commemorated it with a new expansion (The Great Train Robbery) and an exclusive Dynamite box edition, it will not be celebrated internationally until this year due to the effects of the pandemic. First of all, the latest expansion was released in English, as well as a compilation of smaller expansions in one big one (Expansion pack). At the same time, they are preparing an English version of the Dynamite box before the end of the year, which, in addition to all expansions, will also contain premium game boards and wooden bullets (life counters), complete rules, Annie Versary (the character from the 10th anniversary edition) and the new character Emiliano:
(4 life points) Each time your BANG! is Missed!, draw that Missed! card. When you miss a BANG!, draw that BANG! card.
In addition, at least 2 more expansions and a new game with BANG! mechanics await us in the future. As the author of the game said in an interview for Říše her (1. part, 2. part):
[I currently work directly as a designer] primarily on new projects for BANG! system. I can't reveal too much, but after the Great Train Robbery, which by the way was designed by Czech players under the leadership of Martin Blažek and under the supervision of Albi, you can expect at least two new expansions. The first of these will introduce a single-player variant of BANG! with a light steampunk setting and a story that will have to be revealed. The second has already been mentioned – BANG! Legends with the legendary version of the classic BANG! characters with incredible abilities. There's also a BIG BANG! project that I can't talk about, but I can assure you that you'll know when it comes out... And finally, a brand new game for BANG! system after the Samurai sword. Maybe it will have a gangster background? Or pirate? Or…?
Of the smaller news, it is worth mentioning that the online version of BANG! at the Board game arena is already out of beta and work is currently being done to add the High Noon expansion. Czechia/Slovakia are also slated to join the international BANG! tournament, although no details are yet known apart from an announcement from Albi. Finally, don't forget to check out the latest version of the first Czech expansion, the ELDORADO.
Update (2023-7-2): High Noon has already been released on BGA, although it is only available to premium users. Fortunately, it should be enough for one such user to be part of the game.
Dear BANGers, Your favorite BANG! Card Generator(B!CG) is back in full force. You can try it directly from the main menu.
I have newly programmed in B!CG:
- Responsive design of the entire B!CG.
- Character card - option to choose 1-7 lives.
- I changed the logo in the upper right corner of the card (in the future I will probably move it to another place on the card and add the option to upload your own extension logo).
After obtaining all the documents, in the future I will program the following in B!CG:
- Option to create a "Role Card".
- Addition of all other "Features" from the new expansions for blue, green and brown cards.
- Option to add 3 "Card Function" characters for blue, green and brown cards.
- Creation of other cards of other extensions.
- Custom extension logo in the upper right corner of the card.
- In the character card, the ability to randomly generate the value and color of the card.
What simply CANNOT be done in B!CG and thus 99% never will be:
- In the character card, you CANNOT make "Description of the card" as one field for the entire text, unfortunately the library that generates the PDF does not manage to wrap the text.
