The Gang Poker Card Game

About this product

A clever cooperative poker game where your gang must read the table, trust each other, and crack the vault together.

Fast, smart, and brilliantly tense — a fresh co-op twist on poker with quick rounds and strong replay value.

Work together to rank your hands correctly, open vaults, and pull off the perfect heist.

Product Description
Think you know poker? Now try pulling it off as a team.

The Gang is a cooperative poker card game where players work together to complete a series of heists. Instead of bluffing against each other, your gang must judge how strong each hand is compared with everyone else’s — without openly discussing your cards. As more community cards are revealed, players reassess their hands and try to place themselves in the correct order by the end of the round.

It’s quick to learn, fast to play, and full of those delicious “wait… I think I know what you’ve got” moments. If your gang ranks every hand correctly, you crack open a vault. Make too many mistakes and the alarm goes off. The result is a tense, clever, highly replayable card game that turns classic poker thinking into a shared challenge.

If you enjoy teamwork, quick deduction, and a bit of casino-style swagger on game night, The Gang is a beauty.
