BANG!
Players take hidden roles in a spaghetti-western shootout: Sheriff, Deputies, Outlaws and a Renegade, each with different win conditions. Each person also has an open Character card that grants a health total and a special ability. Gameplay uses a shared draw deck of action and equipment cards. Players play BANG! cards to shoot others within gun range, counter with MISSED! cards, and equip guns, horses, and defensive items to alter range and survival. Health is tracked by lives; healing, multi-target weapons and other one-shot effects change the table state. The Sheriff’s role is public; all other roles remain secret until revealed.

It would be the perfect game if it wasn't that: 1 - games can take forever if you don't home rule it to avoid that 2 - A player can exit the game very soon, and they cannot participate anymore. Very old design and annoying because of point 1. Aside from that, I'm never not playing a Bang game when proposed. With all the expansions. Or most of them anyway.
