Why The Gang Is the Right Buy Right Now
The Gang is a team game based on poker-style hands. You are all part of a gang planning a series of heists, and your job is to work out which of you holds the best hand without being able to see your own cards clearly. It is clever, funny and full of table talk, and it works whether you know poker or not.
If you want a group game that makes everyone talk, laugh and argue happily, this is a great pick.
Why 5 Players Is the Sweet Spot
More Hands, More Puzzle
With five players, there are plenty of hands to compare and plenty of ways to be wrong. That makes the team’s decisions more interesting.
Great Group Energy
Five is a great size for a heist crew. There is always a voice of reason, a risk-taker and someone who panics.
Quick Rounds, Lots of Laughs
The rounds are short, so even with five players the game keeps flowing.
And With 3, 4 or 6?
It works at all counts. Three is more intimate, and six can be hectic. Five is where the teamwork feels richest.
Who Should Buy It?
- Groups who like cooperative games
- Poker fans (and non-fans)
- Party hosts
- Friends who love a good argument
What Will It Cost?
The Gang usually costs around 150-250 kr. That is about the price of a couple of cocktails, but this lasts longer than one night.
Verdict: A Heist You Will Remember
If you often play with five and want a clever team game, The Gang is a fantastic buy. Just do not blame the lookout.
