<p>This is not exactly what you asked for, but it may solve your problem and it's sure good info for those who want to play "alone":</p>

<p>There's an <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bang!-the-official-video-game/id406634232?mt=8" rel="nofollow">official app for iOS</a> devices that let you play offline against NPCs or online with other people. </p>

<p>As I write this, the app costs US$4.99, but there are two special edition versions that are <strong>free</strong>, the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bang!-italia-150/id425995340?mt=8" rel="nofollow">BANG!

<p>I love playing Bang! but I'm finding it hard to play a game with my friends, because of our busy schedules. </p>

<p>I would love to play a solitaire version of Bang! if it existed, so that I could get my spaghetti-western card game fix between groups.</p>

<p>Does anyone know of, or has anyone created solitaire rules for this game?</p>

I love playing Bang! but I'm finding it hard to play a game with my friends, because of our busy schedules.

I would love to play a solitaire version of Bang! if it existed, so that I could get my spaghetti-western card game fix between groups.

Does anyone know of, or has anyone created solitaire rules for this game?
