About this expansion

BANG! High Noon/A Fistful of Cards is a pair of expansions for 4–7 players, adding two special event decks to a game that lasts about 40 minutes. Released in 2014, this box combines BANG! High Noon and BANG! A Fistful of Cards in one package.

In High Noon, thirteen cards create a changing set of rules for the game. Twelve cards are shuffled, while the “High Noon” card is placed at the bottom of the deck. At the start of each of the Sheriff’s turns, the Sheriff reveals a new card, and every player must obey its effect for the entire turn.

  • Hangover: All characters lose their special abilities.
  • Blessing: Every card’s suit becomes Hearts, so Barrels always work and Dynamite never explodes.
  • Ghost Town: Players who have been killed and are out of the game can step back into play and try to win.

A Fistful of Cards uses a similar structure with fifteen cards. Fourteen cards are shuffled at random into a deck, with the final card named “A Fistful of Cards.” When that card applies, players face a number of Bang!s each turn equal to the number of cards in their hand.

These two expansions make every turn more distinctive by introducing temporary conditions that affect everyone. Whether the table is coping with lost character abilities, altered card suits, a possible return from elimination, or a growing barrage of Bang!s, the changing deck adds fresh complications to the game.

With its two compact sets of event cards, BANG! High Noon/A Fistful of Cards offers an easy way to add new twists and memorable moments to your BANG! sessions.
