Bang! Howdy

Play Now Download Now
Bang! Howdy is an online strategy game revolving around the "Wild West". It is made by Three Rings Design, the makers of Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates. There is no cost to download the game (or to play it in-browser) and start playing.

The setting mixes elements from a variety of related genres, such as steampunk or Native American myth. Several of the players' available units are entirely mechanical, including artillery and a "steam gunman", a robot boasting large wagon wheels for movement while wearing a cowboy hat. Other, more conventional units include cavalry and gunslingers. At the 2006 Game Developer's Conference, Three Rings described the formula as "Chess + Mario Kart + Real Time/ Turn-Based + Steampunk Westerns + Secret Sauce".
