bullet. Bullets: A player's life points are represented by bullets. When a player loses his last bullet, he is dead and removed from the game. Restoring bullets: Cards bearing beer icons are used to restore bullets up to the character's maximum. "Beer" cards can be used out-of-turn to prevent death and remain at 1 bullet. "Draw!": To "Draw!" means to reveal the first card of the deck and check the card's suit and value. Some cards will trigger only when Hearts or Spades are revealed. Penalties and rewards If the Sheriff eliminates a Deputy, he must discard all the cards he has in hand and in play. Any player who eliminates an Outlaw (even if the eliminating player is himself an Outlaw) must draw a reward of 3 cards from the deck. End of game and winner(s) The game ends as soon as the Sheriff is dead, then the remaining players determine the winner(s). If there are at least two players still alive or the only player left is an Outlaw, all the Outlaws win, dead or alive. If the only player left is a Renegade, the Renegade wins. The game also ends once all Outlaws and Renegades are dead, provided that the Sheriff is still alive. In this case, the Sheriff and all the Deputies win, dead or alive. Strategy As only the Sheriff is known, it is hard to know who has what role. Generally, a player's role is implied if he tries to shoot, or otherwise harm, the Sheriff. Others' roles can be implied if they try to harm those who harmed the Sheriff. The advantage of keeping one's role hidden from enemies must be weighed against the need to accomplish one's goal. Since the Renegade loses if the Sheriff dies when there are still others in the game, he must defend the Sheriff to some extent. On the other hand, his ultimate goal is killing the Sheriff. This leads to a "two faced" nature of the Renegade, trying to weaken each side (Outlaws and Deputies) while keeping the Sheriff alive until the end. This also makes it harder to ascertain who is an Outlaw, who is a Deputy, and who is a Renegade, as their actions may be similar. Characters There are 16 different characters in the base set, each with a different ability: Bart Cassidy = Butch Cassidy – Each time he loses a life
