Bang is unbalanced-> last player=dead

Post by Savaresejr »

After playing few weeks I realised this game is not worth the time, is so bad.

If you play last you are most likely dead before playing a single card. Parole blindly shot you for no reason, just because sherif and probably vice shoot you, then renegade shots you too and probably other outlaws shoot you too in the doubt.
So you are dead without even playing!

Try Arena mode, you can meet some good players there. In casual mode people dont care about results, they look like playing casino.

Bang is a great idea but the game is definitely flawed. Any game that you can lose before taking a single turn needs tweaks. Also when you are last and get put in jail first turn it is basically a death sentence.

The character abilities can make it unbalanced as well. The player who takes from discard can repeatedly pick up the jail card and keep the player in front of them in jail. Also the character who draws a card when they have none in hand can repeatedly keep playing if they have volcanic. About 3/4 of the cards can be played immediately.

This is mainly a problem with players, not the game. If playing with experienced players who aren’t playing the game like roulette, there is no reason the last player should die, for example, outlaws in 6p should not be playing gatling and indians early in the game without reason as they can easily hurt teammates, and people shouldn’t be randomly attacking without knowing roles. Sometimes though you getting killed without a turn is correct play by someone like the vice. But I agree it can be rather frustrating when you don’t get to play.

Bang needs lot of balances. Like PC game when is released, then balance patches comes. Here on board game you never get balance update.

To make odds better I suggest the last player would begin with 2 extra cards. Second last player would begin with 1 extra card. This should at least bit balance game
