The Gang

The Gang is a cooperative card game that reworks Texas Hold'em poker into a silent heist. Instead of bluffing each other, the whole table works together to crack a series of vaults: everyone must judge the strength of their own hand and rank themselves correctly against the others, all without saying a word. A great choice for fans of The Crew, poker players who want something fresh and any group of three to six that enjoys quick, tense co-op play. Key details: • Players: 3-6 • Age: 10+ • Play time: around 20 minutes • Designers: John Cooper and Kory Heath • Publisher: Kosmos (Thames and Kosmos) • Contents: 90 playing cards, 24 poker-style chips, full-colour rulebook Cards are dealt as in Hold'em, with community cards revealed in stages. As each stage is revealed, players use the chips to signal how strong they think their hand is compared with everyone else's. If the ranking is right when the final cards are shown, the vault opens; if not, the alarm sounds. Crack enough vaults before the alarms mount up and the gang gets away clean.
