BANG! Johnny Kisch

About this expansion

BANG! Johnny Kisch is an expansion card for BANG!, a game listed for 4–7 players with a play time of 30 minutes. Released in 2007, Johnny Kisch adds a specific card interaction to the game.

Each time Johnny Kisch puts a card into play, every other card already in play with the same name is discarded. This effect focuses on the names of cards in play and removes matching cards when the effect is triggered.

The rule is direct: a card enters play, its name is checked against the other cards currently in play, and cards with the same name are discarded. Johnny Kisch therefore provides a clearly defined way for matching cards to leave play.

• Type: Expansion card for BANG!
• Players: 4–7
• Play time: 30 minutes
• Release year: 2007

As an expansion card, Johnny Kisch is presented as an addition to the BANG! experience rather than a standalone game. Its entire listed ability centers on cards being put into play and the removal of other cards that share their name.

For players looking to identify the key rule added by this release, the effect is easy to summarize: whenever Johnny Kisch puts a card into play, other cards in play with that same name are discarded. That concise interaction defines the card’s role in BANG! Johnny Kisch.
