There’s a new sheriff in town.  And pretty much everyone wants to kill him.  But not everyone, and some may want to kill everyone else too.  And frankly, some people aren’t too bright, and just need to be put down.  Welcome to Bang! The Dice Game.

Interesting Mechanic:  Mostly Secret Roles. This game really revolves around the secret roles.  Unlike most Werewolf-inspired games, the bad guys know exactly who the sheriff is. However, one of the players may be a deputy, who is on the sheriff’s side.  And one of the other players may be a renegade, who is in fact trying to kill everyone at the table.

While the mechanics of this game seems to suggest that the Sheriff should lose more often than not, I’ve been repeatedly surprised at how often he manages to pull through.  This is a quick, fun party game that works great for casual gamers, and as a fill-in game for hardcore gamers between longer sessions.
