Watch “The Gang Review — Cooperative Poker that’s Free!,” a board game review for The Gang from Shelfside on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Shelfside on YouTube:
We review a Texas Hold ‘em spinoff, that is now played versus the game! In The Gang, players will use their pocket to assemble a 5 card hand a rank themselves amongst the team without talking! You’re doing these predictive bids without bluffing, through the flop and river to eventually have everyone reveal their hand. You can also DIY to create this game for free just using a standard deck of playing cards and some way to denote rank! Is this Toy of the Year finalist good enough to compete with other fillers like the Resistance and Coup? Or maybe you should just play BS poker instead?

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!
