People who complain about the elimination just don't know "how" to play it. The game at least for us is deliberate, social, and requires even amounts of tabletalk to truly work. Sure, you can just shoot each other and in 2 seconds everyone's roles become obvious. But I've seen some crazy plays like a rogue Deputy whittling the Sherrif within an inch of his life so that his enemies can fight amongst themselves. Bang the Card game is the one game I regret I can't play anymore as absolutely everyone hates it and prefers the dice version. it's not just the elimination, though - the game moves at a crawl. coup lets you get killed early, but you know it won't last long afterward. the onslaught of MANCATO! cards, and the fact that you need a bang card to deal damage, is just killer! If it helps, there was a fanmade expansion that allowed the dead to play as ghosts who had limited but disruptive abilities. Still doesn't excuse the pace I know but it's like Samurai Spirit when you know the round is over cos you've lost your last villager but you still wanna recreate kurosawa's Last Stand with the rest of the raiders. It's about immersion, and the deliberate tension that comes with hanging on to that last sliver of health. I dunno what to tell ya. Our group is always glued to the remaining players no matter how long it takes --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. <cite>Simoun posted [p:897689805] in eighty tab...
