There have been plenty of board games to iPad conversions, but despite its physical origins, BANG! Spaghetti Western is coming to the App Store in a more ambitious manner.

To be released for iPhone and iPad, you'll be able compete against players on PC as the online cross platform game will also be released via Intel's AppUp store for Atom netbooks, and general PC download.

Dead man's hand

As for the gameplay, BANG! is turn-based, card-based affair that splits the players into the Sheriff, his Deputies, Outlaws and the Renegade.

The Sheriff must eliminate the Outlaws and Renegade, the Deputies have to protect the Sheriff, the Renegade wants to be the new Sheriff, while the Outlaws want to kill the Sheriff.

All this action occurs as each player picks up various cards - brown cards which you can immediately play, and blue item cards such as weapons and horses. All players also have a Colt .45 for shooting stuff, while the beer card will resurrect you when you're killed.

Of course, if you want to get into the full details, there are plenty of more complex rules, but in the meantime, you can get some idea what it's all about in the following video.
