San Guo Sha (2008)

Killers of the Three Kingdoms is a Chinese-themed card game which shares many rules with Bang!.

The differences between this game and Bang! are as follows:
1. The Master (Sheriff) may get an additional skill related to their kingdom allegiance. Players routinely have two powers.
2. Weapons may have their own additional powers.
3. Reincarnation: A dead player may return to the game with 1 life when he gets 3 or 4 cards from other players. Players may only give 1 card to the dead player during their turn. The risen Dead are not counted towards the winning condition.
4. A card to let a player borrow a weapon from another.
5. A card to cancel the effect of other cards.
6. Peach (Beer) may be played by any player when someone loses their last life. There is no exemption of using Peach when there are only 2 players left.
7. The game proceeds counter-clockwise.

All other cards and rules are identical to those in Bang!. The game includes 10 identity cards, 25 role cards, 10 strength cards, 104 game cards, and a rulebook. All text is in simplified Chinese.

There are five official expansion packs so far: Battle, Fire, Wind, Wood, OverKnight Fame, and Hills. The expansion packs add several new gameplay cards as well as a host of new characters.
