Game is amazing when you have somebody to play with. It gets comical to play, but still has that warlike feel when online.

To be honest this game isn't terribly deep, yet has decent replayability. I think it really comes down to who you play with more than anything. My family takes games serious and plays things like 7 wonders, forbidden desert, and ticket to ride all the time. This game acts as the balance to relieve some of the stress that builds up during those games. We all laugh the entire time as Udesky and Eric seen to always fail miserably while Grant seems to always survive untouched. People use other players as Dino-bait to try to escape while trying to convince the Dino player not to eat them. It's awesome, it's fun, and with the right group it's one of my favorite games.

My son and I fight over who's going to get to play the game first... it's a lot of fun.  But keep in mind, this game isn't an easy win... your character gets killed a LOT at first... but it gets easier as you go along, and once you figure out your strategy it's a breeze.  You play magical tunes to call forth creatures to help you thru tough spots, and once you get about 1/2 way thru, the creatures you call can really make a difference on the outcome of the game.  Play the right tunes to call forth the right players, and winning is a BREEZE!!!  And search EVERYWHERE... you can find some great weapon upgrades and lucky tokens to make winning even easier.  Now that I'm 1/2 way thru, my character hardly ever dies.

Great game, it's a lot of fun especially with more people (although it's plenty fun as a two player game)

This game is soooo much fun.  Its a better two person game then the orignal ever could have been, but is equally fun as a one person.  We joke around that its couples therapy due to the way it forces you to work together to get where you need to get.  The big coins offer an additional challenge for those of you who excel at games like this.  If you are looking for some fierce and ruthless head to head competition, try the coin battles.  If you are like me and like the perks of Mario (remember Super Mario 3 the matching??) then there are some bonus things like this as well.

This game is a blast to play in large groups.  The comparison I most hear about for it is to Mafia.  The larger the group, the more confusing and fun the game gets.

Each player is given a role.  You are either the good guys, the bad guys, or the renegade.  No one tells anyone else what their role is, except for the Sheriff.  The Sheriff shows everyone his card.  From there, madness ensues.  The bad guys try to kill the Sheriff, the good guys try and kill the bad guys, and the renegade adds to the confusion, by playing either side, or trying to balance the fight.

The expansions are decent, and allow more people to play.  The base game is for up to 7 players, but the expansion makes it 8.  They add more cards and a little more strategy to the game.  That being said, I think you will be perfectly happy with the base game.  Finding people that understand the rules enough to play the base game alone is hard enough, finding 8 people with a good enough understanding of the rules to add an expansion or two on top can be difficult.

Speaking of the rules, they are crazy.  The game was originally Italian, and the translation to English was a little rough.  Every other game a rule question comes up that isn't covered in the manual.  Luckily there is a good community online, and I've found that any time I have a question I can just google it and get the answer.  There is a lot of strategy to the game, and especially a lot of cases that a good player can use the rules to their advantage.

Overall, this game is a blast and great for any good sized group of people (5+ players).  Under 5 people can be a little boring because it only takes a round to figure out who is who.  My only gripe with the game is that once you're dead, you're dead.  I've killed people on the first turn, and then had the game go on 45 minutes after that.  It can get a little boring for the players that die early on.  This was fixed in "Samurai Sword", which is basically Bang! but with a Japanese Samurai theme.

We received our game today and immediately got it out to play. It definitely created a feeling of togetherness - we had a great time. It was a fun way to connect with each other. My fianc kept avoiding going to the end of the game and we still barely used any of the cards in the decks. I can see that this game will last through many plays.

You should definitely shuffle before playing this the first time, as some of the cards next to each other are similar.

You can play it with another couple, but even removing the Salsa cards as suggested by the game, playing with another couple would ruin the intimacy. Within our one game and not on a Salsa card, my fianc gave me a 2 minute hand massage, whispered something in my ear about why he was attracted to me, he wrote me a poem, I wrote him 3 love notes to hide for him to find later, we held hands and told each other our hopes and dreams, and  I cried when discussing my fears for the future. I can't imagine doing any of that in front of another couple!

Besides the things above we planned several future dates, a double date, and we now know how we are going to celebrate Valentine's Day based on ideas we shared during the game.

The DVD and card decks that are included in the game are also sold separately, and buying this game is a huge savings. I highly recommend this to any couple looking to connect in a fun, relaxed way.

P.S. - here is a photo of my fianc making a sculpture for me out of household materials in 2 minutes.

I really enjoy playing this game with my younger brother.  We try hard to play by the rules, but it's fun and different every time.

Almost no one has ever heard of this game but it is Amazing !!!  It's best to play against a friend.  Strategy is key.  And the game can get intense.  Great competition and fun !!!  I've played friends and the game has lasted 5 minutes until someone won, and i've played games against friends that took 3 hours.  But it was 3 hours of intense fun and awesomeness.  It's been years since I've played this game but I'm considering buying another Sega Genesis system, just for this game.  If they ever decide to remake this game for playstation I'd be at the store the day that it went on sale.

This game is great fun to play with a group of people as long as everyone knows each other really well. Playing the game brought up a lot of great memories and great laughs between friends. I wouldn't recommend playing this game as an icebreaker or with the purpose of getting to know other people.

This is a really great two player game. I love describing it to people, it's really hard to make it sound cool or fun, but then they play it and love it!

Great game to play as a team. It's easier if you just have 2 players. It gets crazy with more people. Love it!

Since purchasing this game over 6 months ago, 3 of my friends have also bought copies and this has turned into one of the best multiplayer experiences I've had for many years.  This game is simply a blast to play.

Culdcept SAGA is a unique game and a little difficult to describe.  It is set up as a board game with 'property' that can be landed on and acquired.  Just like monopoly, you can level up your territory and create chains to increase their value.  You claim territory and challenge the claims of other players using a deck of cards.  There are nearly 500 cards with a variety of effects - this makes deck combination's almost infinite.  Culdcept SAGA is surprisingly balanced considering the number of cards and variety of map types.

There is no game quite like Culdcept SAGA and you owe it to yourself to check it out.  Just be prepared for a new addiction.

Unlike call if duty and the like, there aren't always people online to play with... when I say nobody, I mean nobody. other than that, the game is an excellent one.

This game has many nitpicky reasons that someone can decide not to like it. I understand where a lot of people are coming from with their negative reviews. However, playing this game co-op is amazing fun. I am addicted to tactically attacking outposts, completing missions, and sniping enemies from a distance. All with my friends by my side!
