## Description

In this cooperative poker game, round up your gang and get ready to pull off a series of bank heists using the power of poker! In this innovative, cooperative version of a poker game, players bet on how good they think their hand of cards will be relative to the other players, and then try to make their predictions a reality. Early in a round, without talking to each other, each player chooses a chip indicating how good they think their hand is. Then they begin dealing cards in the middle of the table and have a chance to reassess their hands as more cards are revealed. At the end of the round, players see if they correctly evaluated their hand. If all players did, you get to open one of the bank vaults! If not, you trip the alarm! If you manage to open three vaults before you trip the alarm three times, your gang wins!

Review: Fun Cooperative Twist on Poker with Fast-Paced Gameplay - This card game puts a fresh, cooperative spin on Texas Hold’em-style poker. It’s perfect for family game nights or social gatherings because the group works together to outplay the dealer instead of competing with each other. Rounds move quickly and keep things exciting for up to six players aged 10 and up. The components feel solid and setup is easy. Artwork is clean and game direction is intuitive—no prior poker experience needed. The shared decision-making leads to plenty of suspense and team strategy without overwhelming beginners. This isn’t your typical game of poker. It’s more about working collectively to hit hands, manage risk, and decide when to fold or bluff as a team. That twist adds deeply engaging moments and makes each round feel fresh. Overall, “The Gang” delivers a unique and accessible card game experience that blends classic poker with collaborative play. It’s thoughtful, quick to learn, and great fun with friends or family. I’m impressed.
Review: LOVE it! Teaches cooperation and team work. - I LOVE this game. It is addictive. It takes a few rounds to get a hang of it, especially if you have no prior knowledge of poker, but I think it is quickly learnable and fun to play. Definitely strategy heavy which is a big plus in my book, but what stands out is how the game does not focus on a winner or a loser but on cooperation for EVERYONE to win. It’s a great game for kids to instill positive attitudes vs say the cut throat competitive type like monopoly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting Twist on an Old Classic
*by C***T on January 1, 2025*

First off I know next to nothing about how to play Texas Hold’ em so I had a steep learning curve to overcome in learning to play this one. I was able to learn the game fairly quickly because of how well the rules are written and the player aids. I watched on how to play Texas Hold’em as well. This is a cooperative game in which players lose or win together. As a team you are trying to put your individual hand of cards in sequential order from lowest to highest. If you get it right you get to flip over a vault card. Flip over the three vault cards and everyone wins of course. If you don’t everyone loses. You can add other cards to the game to make it more challenging once you learn the basic game. For me this is a great way to learn the various poker hands while playing a fun game. If you like to play card games and are looking for something new to try, I’d recommend this game because it’s easy to teach, fairly easy to learn and fun to play.
