Description

In the game Banditos, you'll take on the role of an American character making runs into Mexico to pull off bank heists. With the Mexican economy in shambles, the opportunity for creative accounting and other illicit activities is ripe. You'll need to acquire vehicles, weapons, and seed money to make your heists happen, and you can do so by drawing cards, buying from other players, or stealing from the discard pile. As you navigate the game, you'll have to manage your risk and decide how desperate you are to acquire what you need versus how much heat you can handle. With the ability to play with 2 to 6 players, the game is full of social interaction and negotiation. The goal is simple: be the first player to get your character home with one million US dollars. With easy to learn rules and a playtime of 90 minutes, Banditos is a fun and exciting economic game that's perfect for a night in with friends.
