I might be able to get a group of us to pitch in to get a professional printer to produce several decks of cards. I will not get any money from it; we would simply all split the cost for production. This will be easier and more affordable to do for Death Mesa, where the card sizes do not matter. Robber's Roost will require a custom project where the card sizes need to meet those of the BANG! playing cards. If I find out more information about this, I will let you know.Martin Pulidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744590692797682125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419437603615826921.post-26211721963145725512011-03-02T08:20:27.949-08:002011-03-02T08:20:27.949-08:00I looked at both Death Mesa and Robber's Roos...I looked at both Death Mesa and Robber's Roost and I really like what is there.

That is why I brought up trying to create an Infinite BANG! which does not do this. But in essence, Infinite BANG! is trying to create a way to keep dead players involved in the game until it is over. I encourage you to look at Death Mesa as a different attempt to solve that problem while having less of a role problem. Another way to make this Infinite BANG! more interesting, however, so that it isn't just playing cards to their maximum potential is to mesh it with BANG! Tactics. That would give you a much greater latitude in making strategic decisions even with the roles known.Martin Pulidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744590692797682125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419437603615826921.post-70809979994649813062011-03-01T09:10:50.971-08:002011-03-01T09:10:50.971-08:00Thank you for those answers.

The game requires no real strategy other than getting the cards and playing them to their maximum potential. The game lacks the tactical game play of regular bang where you would normally be playing a game of lies and deceit. The game made everyone who loves and plays bang on a regular basis, bored and tired of playing quickly. I wonder what the game needs to make it playable..Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943844047425974376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419437603615826921.post-12189960918824619392011-02-22T22:53:06.768-08:002011-02-22T22:53:06.768-08:00Hey Michael, these are some good questions that yo...Hey Michael, these are some good questions that you rise, although they are no fault of the translation! I can offer some suggestions myself, but since Aitor is the author of this variant, you'd have to ask him yourself if at all possible. I have been working on my own Infinite BANG! variant where only characters die and roles are not altered, but that is irrelevant to your current questions.<br /><br />(1) I don't know how important starting at the Sheriff is. I would deal with it this way: If the Sheriff is in play, then start/flip over the event card with him. If not, start with the player who was the original Sheriff as the event cards should always occur on a 1 round basis (they should be active for only 1 turn for each player). Or you could edit the Infinite BANG! variant so that a Sheriff is always in play. Whoever kills the Sheriff becomes the next Sheriff (he discards his old role, places it at the bottom of the deck, and takes the Sheriff's role card and puts it in front of him instead). The problem is having event cards that are active for 1.5 rounds here. But you could have the new Sheriff and still only have the event cards flipped over when the original Sheriff's turn arises.<br /><br />(2) Actually, 8-player wouldn't be a problem, 7-player (with only the original game) would be. 8-player I believe is only available in the bullet, and there you get 2 stacks of roles (1 set for the original game, and another for Dodge City). So you could just pull out a select amount of the Dodge City roles to accomodate. If you only have the original game with the 7 roles, it looks like your only options would be to print out extra role cards (or some other home made way to tell roles; it is not as important that they are well done and secret, since all roles are face up anyway), use another person's role cards from their copy of BANG!, or buy another BANG!<br /><br />(3) Yes. Although that it is the Sheriff's turn seems unimportant in this Infinite BANG! variant. Whoever is the initial Sheriff is the player who signals the beginning of a "round." Have him flip over the new event cards each time he gets a new turn regardless if he is no longer the Sheriff. This way certain rounds aren't longer than others--you don't want to have an event card that certain players have to deal with 2 turns and others do not.<br /><br />(4) I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible with "Wild West Show." Bone Orchard probably should be set aside, but that card was stupid anyway. It gave the law recurring card bonuses for popping off 1 life point outlaws that kept coming back to life.<br /><br />I hope that answers most of your questions!Martin Pulidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744590692797682125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419437603615826921.post-34675640949016738562011-02-22T14:46:09.037-08:002011-02-22T14:46:09.037-08:00Hey, I had a couple questions that I don't bel...Hey, I had a couple questions that I don't believe were covered by the translation. <br /><br />1.) When you are playing a game with a lower number of people and the Sheriff dies his role goes to the bottom of the role pile. Now what happens when you flip an event card that begins with "Starting at the Sheriff"? Also, who flips the pile if there is no sheriff out?<br /><br />2.)If you are playing the game with eight people, does that mean everyone stays the same role the entire game?<br /><br />3.) How do you play with both the "High Noon" and the "Fistful of Cards" decks. Do you flip one card from each every Sheriff turn? <br /><br />4.) Will this variant work with the newest "Wild West Show" expansion and events.<br /><br />Lots of questions, I know! However, I am very into Bang! as is my entire group of friends, and I tend to be the one with all of the answers.

I edited the post to include your point:<br /><br />"You can lengthen out the amount of turns until the end of the game by not playing the High Noon and A Fistful of Cards simultaneously. Play 1 of the decks, followed by the other. This lengthens out the typical 15 turns to 30."Martin Pulidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744590692797682125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419437603615826921.post-35751978946597348372011-01-15T16:22:07.327-08:002011-01-15T16:22:07.327-08:00Hello Marty:
Thanks for the english translation.
...Hello Marty:<br /><br />Thanks for the english translation.<br />In this way more people can enjoy with this Bang Variant.<br /><br />You miss the variant that explain the draw of the events. That you can draw the two events for a turn OR first a "fistful of Cards" and later "High Noon" This provide 15 turns in the first case and 30 turns in the second.<br /><br />Good Job!<br />I hope you enjoy with Infinite Bang!<br /><br />Aitor Vilchez; Mynth nickname.Mynthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059833685830657658noreply@blogger.com
