Quotes (from this video)
- First of all, I think this works great. It's a really nice storage solution.

- My favorite promo character, one of the cooler characters they've made in general.
- Honestly, I don't think there are any bad sets for Bullet.
- This is where I have the last four character sets. So, yes, both of these starter eight character sets are my favorites.
- Heart is my number two of all time.
- The very first set for Bullet is still a great one.
- Both core sets are great, and it's a great game.
- Still one of my favorites of all time.

mixed
Pros
- fast-paced and easy to learn
- beautiful anime-style artwork

- bullets in a bag and placement — players add bullets to a personal bag based on the current threat level and then draw/place them on their board

- end condition: last man standing — when a player clears enough bullets, capacity transfers to the opponent and the round ends
- health and draw-in penalties — if you draw a bullet that you can’t place, it goes to your health; lose when hearts are fully covered
- pattern matching to remove bullets — matching card patterns allows removal of other bullets marked with a starburst on the board

- Simultaneous Actions — both players act without waiting, keeping the play brisk and tense
