Description

Get ready to join The Gang, a cooperative card game where you and your friends work together to pull off a series of heists. With easy-to-learn rules, you can dive right into the action, which is perfect for a quick 20-minute game with 3 to 6 players. Designed by John Cooper and Kory Heath, and published in 2024, this game brings a fresh twist to the traditional card game, with a focus on communication limits, cooperative gameplay, and predictive bidding. In The Gang, you'll use your predictive skills to bet on the strength of your hand, and then work together to make those predictions a reality. Without discussing your strategy with your teammates, you'll choose a chip to indicate how confident you are in your hand, and then deal cards into the middle of the table, reassessing your chances as more information is revealed. The goal is to open three bank vaults before triggering the alarm three times, requiring coordination and strategic thinking from the whole team. With its unique blend of cooperation and predictive bidding, The Gang is a thrilling and social experience that's perfect for a fun night in with friends.
