Wanted · Dead or Alive
Bang!
The Sheriff is the only player who shows a badge. Everyone else is holding a secret role, and at least one of them wants him dead before sundown.
5 players · 1 badge shown · 4 identities hidden
Four roles, four different games
You are dealt one of these and you keep it to yourself. Only the Sheriff is revealed at the start.
Sheriff
Kill every Outlaw and the Renegade.
Always exactly one
Deputy
Protect the Sheriff. Kill every Outlaw and the Renegade.
None at 4, two at 7
Outlaw
Kill the Sheriff.
Two or three
Renegade
Be the last one standing — kill the Sheriff last.
Always exactly one
Your turn is three moves long
In this order, every time. The whole game is what you choose to do in the middle one.
Draw two
Off the top of the deck — unless your character says otherwise, and several do.
Play anything
As many cards as you like, in any order. One Bang! per turn, though, unless you are holding a Volcanic.
Discard down
Your hand limit is your current life. Get shot and you can hold less, which is the trap.
80 cards and 16 characters
Every card is drawn for this table. Here are six of them.
Deal me in
Bots take whatever chairs are still empty, so a table can start with one player.
