Product Description

The Cooperative Poker Game
Round up your gang and get ready to pull off a series of bank heists using the power of poker! The Gang is an innovative, cooperative version of a poker game in which players bet on how good they think their hand of cards will be relative to the other players, and then try to make their predictions a reality.

Early in a round, without talking to each other, players choose a chip indicating how good they think their hand will be. They then begin dealing out cards in the middle of the table and have a chance to reassess their hands as more cards are revealed. At the end of the round, players see if they correctly evaluated their hand. If all players did, then they will get to open one of the bank vaults! Once a certain number of vaults are open, your gang wins!

  • A classic game of poker with a cooperative twist
  • Fast rounds and high stakes
  • If you loved The Crew, you’ll love The Gang

Edward B. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about a cooperative poker game, but the shared hands mechanic fixes the problem of one player running away with it. Our table of four spent two hours just trying to pull off the second heist and nobody wanted to stop.

Eva V. ★★★★★

My game night crew has never yelled at each other this much in a good way. The co-op twist on poker actually works, you're not bluffing against each other, you're bluffing the bank. Took us two rounds to get the heist flow down, but now it's the first game anyone grabs.

Penelope ★★★★★

I was skeptical about poker as a co-op game, but the way everyone shares chips and talks through each hand actually makes the heists feel tense. We lost our first bank job by one card and immediately dealt again.
