About the game
In the old West, a lot of rumors travel far; voices of epic adventures and stories that are recounted at sunset. They tell of heroes, crooks, and lost places in the desert. BANG! Legends is an expansion that lets you play as a “Legendary” version of the classic BANG! characters and discover new lethal abilities. But be careful: Only by completing amazing feats (or by boasting about them!) can you enter into Legend! Take on legendary versions of the classic characters from BANG! Perform heroic deeds—or brag about them—to gain fame and enhance your abilities. This expansion introduces 16 legendary characters (to swap with the characters in the base game), 16 Feat cards, and 35 wooden Fame tokens in 7 different shapes and colors. “This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” —(M. Scott, “The man who shot Liberty Valance”) —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
BANG! Legends supports 4–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for BANG! Legends is 30–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists BANG! Legends for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
BANG! Legends has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
BANG! Legends belongs to these categories: Card Game, Deduction, and Bluffing. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Player Elimination, and Hidden Roles.

The credited designers of BANG! Legends are: Emiliano Sciarra.
