Description

Gangstar is a fast-paced and exciting card game that's perfect for a group of friends looking for a quick and thrilling experience. With simple rules that can be explained in no time, 3 to 8 players can dive into the world of gangsters, cops, and mysterious characters. The game consists of 45 cards, each with its own unique role, and players take turns placing cards face down on the table, trying to outsmart each other. The goal is to collect as many gangs as possible, each consisting of a boss and five members of the same color, and the player who succeeds in doing so will be crowned the winner. As players take turns, they must react to the cards they receive, either by playing back the same color and number or by returning all cards of the same suit. But beware, there's a special card called "joe" that can throw other players off track, adding an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability to the game. With playtime ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, Gangstar is an ideal game for a casual game night or a fun break from more complex games. Designed by Ilir Janke and published in 2019, Gangstar is a great addition to any card game collection, offering a unique blend of strategy and social interaction that's sure to keep players engaged and entertained.
