Playing Cards

Blue Cards (stay in play)

• Barrel: allows you to Draw! when hit by a Bang! card. If you draw a heart card, counts as a Mancato!. Otherwise nothing happens. A Mancato! card may still be played afterwards.
• Draw! action: flip over the top card from the deck, look at the poker symbol, apply effect if appropriate, and discard it.
• Dynamite: play this card in front of you and wait a whole turn. Then Draw!, if dynamites explodes you lose 3 life points and discard the card. Otherwise pass the card along. Dynamite stays in play until explodes or is discarded by a Panic! or Cat Balou.
• Jail: play this card in from of any player regardless of distance. If you are in jail, Draw! before the start of your turn. If you draw a heart card, you escape jail and proceed with your turn. Otherwise, your turn is skipped and discard the card. Jail cannot be played on the Sheriff.
• Mustang: other players see you at a distance +1.
• Scope: you see other players at distance -1.
• Volcanic (weapon): play any number of Bang! cards during you turn.

Brown Cards (discarded after use)

• Bang!: player hit loses 1 life point. Take into account distance of player and reach of your weapon.
• Beer: regain 1 life point. Life points cannot exceed your starting amount (determined by character). May be played out of turn only immediately after receiving a lethal hit. No effect when only 2 players remain.
• Cat Balou: force any player (regardless of distance and including yourself) to discard a card. You may choose a card in play in from of them or pick a random card from the hand.
• Duel: challenge any other player, regardless of distance. Starting with the challenged player, each may discard a Bang! until a player doesn't. That player loses 1 life point. Missed! and Barrel have no effect. Not considered a Bang! card.
• Emporio: turn as many cards from the deck face up as players in play. Starting with you, each player chooses one and adds it to their hand.
• Gatling: shoots a Bang! to all the other players, regardless of distance. Not considered a Bang! card.
• Indians!: all other players may discard a Bang! or lose a life point. Neither Mancato! or Barrel have effect in this case.
• Mancato!: may be played immediately after a Bang! - even if out of turn. This cancels the hit and there's no loss of points.
• Panic!: Draw a card from a player at distance 1 (including yourself) and add it to your hand. Distance is not modified by weapons but by cards as Mustang/Scope/etc. You may draw a random card from their hand or choose one in play in from of them.
