dV Giochi Games Bang! The Duel

This game is really fun if you want to duel it out with your friend. It takes a bit to learn the mechanics of the game but once your are familiar with them, that’s when the game gets interesting. Give it a try! You may end up loving the game as much as I do.

Forget the playing cards at home. This is a great game for two people. Very easy to learn and great to do for a fun date night.

Great adaptation from the classic version of Bang! At first it seems a little complex because each person controls two characters but, it actually plays quite smoothly and is a great addition to anyones' collection of Bang! 5 stars!

Great family game. Lots of fun

this game is fun for anyone who enjoys Bang

As a huge fan of the original Bang! I was skeptical right off the bat...I still don’t know how I feel about it. It is entertaining, sure, but it is SO different from the original. Names of cards, actions, etc. Meh.

The idea for this game was great, but they've made it too complex. Being a veteran bang! Player, the changes to the cards were confusing and the directions weren't very helpful. It took about an hour to get through 2-3 turns just trying to decypher the card meanings and method of play. Would not buy again.

I work in a place where we play a lot of games as a team-building, stress-relieving exercise. One of my direct reports was always raving about how much fun Bang! was, but we never had four people to get a game going. When I found Bang! The Duel, I was excited. After several attempts to play it, however, the conclusion is that it is confusing and overly-complicated. Even after several attempts, the learning curve never got better. It was always someone saying, "wait, crap, we forgot to..." or "what the heck does this mean," or worse still, "my card and your card seem to contradict each other; what do we do?" This was after trying to figure this out with a veteran Bang! player. I finally got a group together to play the original Bang!--what a difference. Bang! is fun, fast-paced, easy-to-learn, and pretty deep with a lot of replay value. There are thousands of silly moments of double entendres, as well as some pretty intense moments that bring to mind the final duel in The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Bang! the Duel just isn't anywhere near that. It's quite the opposite, in fact. It's tedious, with constant rule-checking and head-scratching. It's complicated and non-intuitive. It's just plain not fun.
