Description

In the scorching desert territories of Brazil's Sertão, a group of bandits known as the Cangaceiros emerged to challenge the corrupt status quo. Cangaceiros is a competitive game where 2 to 5 players take on the role of a gang trying to survive while being hunted by the state police, the Volantes. Each player chooses a chief from 20 available options, each with unique abilities and characteristics that will aid in their quest for fame. Players must manage their seven-card deck carefully, using cards to collect resources, attack the Volantes, and train their leader to achieve their life goal. The goal is to accumulate fame points, which can be obtained by attacking the Volantes, training your boss, and other means. The player with the most fame points wins, making Cangaceiros a strategic and thrilling adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat for 60 to 120 minutes.
