Bang! is a Spaghetti Western themed social deduction card game designed by Emiliano Sciarra and first published in 2002 by the Italian company DV Giochi. Each player is secretly assigned a hidden role, such as Sheriff, Deputy, Outlaw or Renegade, and must work out who to trust and who to shoot as the game plays out like a gunfight between four and seven players, extendable to eight with expansion sets. The game won the Origins Award for Best Traditional Card Game and for Best Graphic Design of a Card Game or Expansion in 2004, recognition that helped establish it internationally. It is published worldwide under the title Bang!, with the notable exception of France, where it was sold as Wanted! until September 2009. Numerous expansions have since added new characters, roles and mechanics, and the game has also been adapted into video game and board game spin-off versions.
