How to Play: The Gang

Thames & Kosmos

Watch “How to Play: The Gang,” a how-to-play guide for The Gang from Thames & Kosmos on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Thames & Kosmos on YouTube:

Join the Thames & Kosmos team as they play through The Gang, an innovative, cooperative version of poker in which 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. The players in this demo show their cards to the camera before the beginning of each round. If you would rather not know what they have in their hands, click the timestamps below to jump right to the start of the round. 3:35 - Round 1 10:20 - Round 2 14:04 - Round 3 17:28 - Round 4 22:35 - Round 5 CORRECTION: In Round 5, Carter is determined to have the second strongest hand because he has "three pairs" (5, 7, and J). However, in Texas Hold 'Em you can only build the best possible combination of 5 cards, so Carter's and Karl's hands actually have the same strength (77JJQ).

About The Gang, from BoardGameGeek:

Round up your gang and get ready to pull off a series of bank heists using the power of poker! In The Gang, a co-operative version of Texas Hold'em, players bet on how good they think their hand of cards will be relative to the other players, 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 into 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 whether 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! -description from the publisher
