Bang! The Dice Game - Full Gameplay & Discussion

[@venusboys3]

I've been curious about this game and watched a few reviews. Yours is definitely the best overview and commentary I've seen. Good job!

[@boardgamereplay]

Thanks a lot! Really glad it was helpful for you, that's exactly the kind of things we're hoping to do with our episodes. Thanks for watching!

[@MrWalker1000]

@@boardgamereplay i've never played bang before which version should i get. my friend told me to get samurai sword. but i was wondering which is better since i've never played bang before

[@PauloRenato23]

You actually made the game look pretty fun... I've bought this but it didn't stay long, sold it right after just didn't do it for me and the group Again very nice episode... keep up the excellent work

[@boardgamereplay]

Thanks Paulo. I can understand this one not working for everyone, but we certainly have a good time with it. I hope it was fun to watch either way :)

[@sOUL_i0N]

i was thinking about buying the game and decided to do so after i watched your video. you guys sure made it look like fun and i'll add it as a rule that you have to do the gattling gun movement when i play with my friends.

[@boardgamereplay]

+sOUL iON Thanks great to hear, thanks so much for watching! Really glad we were able to help you out! :)

[@Galloglaoch]

Great review mates, it was very entertaining and gives exactly the feel of the game. I'm expecting my to arrive tomorrow, and will be used with my group as what you described drinking bear and talking between turns. Just by watching you play I'm sure the game will sloth in and we'll be playing it regularly. I'm going to watch the bonus gameplay now, keep up the great videos. :)

[@boardgamereplay]

Glad to hear you'll be playing this soon! With the right group it really goes from good to great. Thanks so much for watching!

[@CT2507]

u are going back in time to explain to us how this game works in the future... but in the past!?? whoa...!? my mind just stopped, and then jumped. and now i find myself connected to a different part of the Matrix!

[@rexross1461]

Awesome game and video. I like the full play through. This is another one i've wanted to get for a while but its hard to get in Australia. I'll get it soon hopefully and it was fun to watch both videos, thanks :)

[@boardgamereplay]

Well I do hope you can find a copy soon. Thanks as always for watching Rex!

[@zatedford]

Nice! One of my favorite light games. Any chance you guys would want to do a Resistance game? Maybe Resistance Avalon with the special hidden roles?

[@boardgamereplay]

Zach, we actually sat down and just filmed a bunch of hidden role games a few weeks back. The Resistance Avalon was one of the ones we played to try and show Kara how hidden role games worked. It ended up being a hilarious blowout for the evil players in 3 separate games because for some reason the evil players AND Merlin were the same people in all 3 games. It made it so hard to read people by the 3rd game because NO ONE suspected the same 2 guys to be evil again! Needless to say it kind of came off as a sub-optimal display of the game so we're going to probably go for it again in sometime in the near future. Oh, and we're also planning a video of our all-time favorite hidden role game...Battlestar Galactica :)

[@HaunterGM]

If King of Tokyo, Cash N Guns, and One Night Ultimate Werewolf had a baby together, Bang! would be the baby.

[@HarfangX]

seeing this played was very helpful... thank you for the video! :)

[@boardgamereplay]

Glad we could help...Thanks for watching!

[@KnucklesEki]

You just got Miss Fortune ulted twice! That ability to use 1s and 2s for either... so powerful.

[@boardgamereplay]

Hah, nice League reference :) And yeah, that's a super strong ability for an Outlaw to have...especially when in range of the Sheriff!

[@KnucklesEki]

Board Game Replay Ah, so you play League of Legends too?

[@boardgamereplay]

Red Mage Well, I used to play a lot (600 or so games total). But the rest of the guys, Brian, Jeremy, Isaac, and Chris are all still into it and play pretty often.

[@KnucklesEki]

Board Game Replay I should've stayed in NA (assuming that's where you guys play), my friends in OCE call me Super Sona when I play. Because I can play Sona in a solo lane and destroy anyone. My prediction if I play: Announcer: Sona is unstoppable! Isaac: Wooooow(tm)

[@jeremyh9174]

Red Mage Jeremy here, played league since beta, still play pretty often now. I've spent all of the dollars on league...

[@cobtyrannon2479]

To me it looks like the Roles(Vice,Outlaw) are practically impossible to hide. There is almost no way to "bluff" or fake a role past the first rounds with a beer or two. What are your experiences with that?

[@boardgamereplay]

+CoB Tyrannon It can be tricky for sure. When I play those roles I'll usually fire a shot at an ally or a beer at an enemy just to spread confusion.

[@uberboat4512]

Board Game Replay ye same

[@TheFilipFonky]

But you can't know if the person you're shooting is an ally or an enemy

[@MrWalker1000]

never played a bang game before. Should i get the original bang, bang the dice game, or samurai sword?

[@monkeyman101100]

Are you just playing house rules with the dynamite? Aren't you supposed to end your turn and not use the rest of your rolls if three dynamite are rolled?

[@boardgamereplay]

When you roll 3 dynamite you have to stop rolling, but you still resolve the other dice you've rolled so far. Was there a point in the video where we kept rolling after 3 dynamite?

[@Zaloomination]

Does the gatling gun hurt people on the same team? Especially? , could the vice not shoot the gatling at the sheriff?

[@FarkyJ]

I like your concept of review and gameplay.You got a nice group.for the game.Dice bang is nice but you need it to play with 6 people at least.My group consist of 4-5 and people it doesnt work well for it.Sheriff needs to reveal thats one player down.Its a great game but probably better suited for parties and schools.If you have 4-5 group king of tokyo is better to go.Or avalon or coup. Question.Will you buy the new Sons of Anarchy game from gf9 since you really like spartacus?

[@boardgamereplay]

Thanks for the kind words! I definitely agree in that the game plays best with 6+ players. I do still think it can be fun at other player counts, just not optimal :) As for Sons of Anarchy, I've seen the announcements for the board game but I honestly know nothing about the show! We do really enjoy Spartacus from GF9 so if Sons of Anarchy shares some of that feel it may very well be something we enjoy. We'll just have to wait and see I guess!

[@famaral42]

Hey, guys! Before my doubts, great video(s)! Really helpful in watching the mechanics of the games, specially the comments and conclusions.. Here is my doubt: why you do not talk to each other in trying to convince your role? Is it not allowed? Only the on of you (by mistake) told that was the Vice.. since than you only insinuated your roles by your actions (hey, ai am giving you beer)... Welll is it alowed to talk abou your role (of course, not showing the card, just like The resistance...)

[@boardgamereplay]

+Felipe Amaral hey, thanks for checking out the video! To answer your question, you're actually allowed to say whatever you want during the game. Meaning that you can tell the truth, lie or misdirect as much as you want in regards to what your role might be. I'm not sure exactly why we didn't speak up more about our roles, but we certainly have in other games. One of the differences with this game compared to the original Bang! or other hidden role games is that your role this one is usually revealed pretty quickly. It's such a fast game that most roles (aside from the Renegade) are somewhat known within a round or two.

[@richardbuck1729]

Is that a Guardians of the Galaxy poster in the editing room?

[@boardgamereplay]

It's actually a Marvel Heroes PC game poster. Just happens to feature Rocket Raccoon and Groot :)

[@dealerovski82]

wow the vice deputy realy screwd up in the beginning..

[@boardgamereplay]

Haha it's hard to say actually. Chris is always known for trying to mess with our heads doing things like that. We've played so many games where he's claimed one thing at the start, but ended up being something else. It's become a regular thing so we really never know whether he's telling the truth, lying to us, or just screwing up :P

[@13shivan]

lucky duke is really op O.o

[@cyranthus]

all your base are belong to us!

[@dealerovski82]

Its a vey strange rule that the outlaws can win even if they are eliminated after only the deputies and renegade are left alive. I would think the renegade should win in that situation.

[@boardgamereplay]

Sorry, I must have missed this comment way back when you made it Daniel. Yum X's response was right though, the end game conditions for the Renegade are by design. The Renegade creates a kind of semi-cooperative element which is a lot of fun, especially when there's multiple Renegades AND Deputies.

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

I want to try an easier version of BTDG: no character cards and no renegades.

[@calebdesjardins616]

Are you supposed to reveal the roles when people die? I don't think you are supposed to until the end of te game

[@boardgamereplay]

Yep you're supposed to show your role when you die. In the rules it says "If you lose your last life point, you are out of the game. Show your role to all players and discard all your arrows." Hope that helps! :)

[@calebdesjardins616]

Thanks man it does. I think it might a cool house rule to nt show it just so that it won't be as easy to deduce who is who using process of elimination. Just a thought.

[@boardgamereplay]

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. It's such a quick game it wouldn't be hard to try out too!
