bang
Be the last one standing in this wild west shootout game with hidden roles.
"The Outlaws hunt the Sheriff. The Sheriff hunts the Outlaws. The Renegade plots secretly, ready to take one side or the other. Bullets fly. Who among the gunmen is a Deputy, ready to sacrifice himself for the Sheriff? And who is a merciless Outlaw, willing to kill him? If you want to find out, just draw (your cards)!" (From back of box)
The card game BANG! recreates an old-fashioned spaghetti western shoot-out, with each player randomly receiving a Character card to determine special abilities, and a secret Role card to determine their goal.
Four different Roles are available, each with a unique victory condition:
Sheriff - Kill all Outlaws and the Renegade
Deputy - Protect the Sheriff and kill any Outlaws
Outlaw - Kill the Sheriff
Renegade - Be the last person standing
A player's Role is kept secret, except for the Sheriff. Character cards are placed face up on table, and also track strength (hand limit) in addition to special ability.
There are 22 different types of cards in the draw deck. Most common are the BANG! cards, which let you shoot at another player, assuming the target is within "range" of your current gun. The target player can play a "MISSED!" card to dodge the shot. Other cards can provide temporary boosts while in play (for example, different guns to improve your firing range) and special one-time effects to help you or hinder your opponents (such as Beer to restore health, or Barrels to hide behind during a shootout). A horse is useful for keeping your distance from unruly neighbors, while the Winchester can hit a target at range 5. The Gatling is a deadly exception where range doesn't matter: it can only be used once, but targets all other players at the table!

Rules
Talking/Writing in chat: talking "at the table" is part of the game, as is lying about your role. However, as expressly specified by Emiliano Sciarra (creator of Bang!) on boardgamegeek.com:
1) One "cannot say which cards are in your hand, nor you can ask directly another player whether he approves the playing of some card or not" (SOURCE: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2825319/tabletalk-and-bga)
2) One "may try to tell other players what to do: if they will obey, on the other hand, that's up to them (as well as finding a way to explain their behaviour...)" (SOURCE: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1474957/article/20986387#20986387).

Note that these rules are community-maintained. Literally anyone can write anything here. When in doubt, refer to the Official Rule Book (en - https://www.dvgiochi.com/giochi/bang/download/Bang_rules_ENG.pdf, it - https://www.dvgiochi.com/giochi/bang/download/Bang_rules_ITA.pdf), the Official FAQ (en - https://www.dvgiochi.com/giochi/bang/download/Bang!_FAQ_ENG.pdf, it - https://www.dvgiochi.com/giochi/bang/download/Bang!_FAQ_ITA.pdf), or stuff that is stated by the creator (see link above).
People often like to make up rules. Refer to the infamous definition of a "scrub" by game designer David Sirlin: https://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/introducingthe-scrub. Don't be that scrub!
