Thames & Kosmos The Gang — Cooperative Poker Card Game | Family Game Night & Strategy Game for Adults, Teens & Kids | Team-Based Heist Game | 3–6 Players | Ages 10+ | 20 Min

What a really cool take on Hold 'Em! We play this every game night to start our finish as it's simple through to set up and play quickly. We really love this game as poker players.

A wonderful, easy to pick up game. It has a depth that offers enjoyment to my experienced board gaming friends while being approachable enough that my 80 year old grand parents can enjoy it. The Texas holdem relations and helper cards go a long way for teaching others, the random modifier cards add a lot of variety. It's easy to slot 3-4 games into an evening. I think anyone outside of those averse to co-op would enjoy it.

We had a great time playing this as a family with our adult sons. Even if you do not know poker or Texas Hold Em you will find this pretty seamless to learn and give hours of good natured fun. I don't recommend for children Who struggle with the ability to focus. It does require being able to intuit the behavior or others, some aptitude for playing the odds, the ability to give other players a moment to think and the ability to enjoy good natured ribbing (at least in our family!) All of us agreed this is a fun game. The printing on the playing cards is a bit disgraceful, being that certain suits are faded and dull appearing, like the printer was out of ink or someone failed to do their quality checks. But they are a nice weight and shuffled and deal out with ease.

great game for family game night. we are able to play with 3 but much more fun with 4-6. takes strategy to figure what everyone has - definitely takes thought or counting cards. lol

Fun game easy to play

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.

Gift for my father-in-law at Christmas. Gamplay was straight-forward and fun, requires creativity in interacting with other players, and each game doesn’t take very long.

Gave this to my spouse as a surprise stocking stuffer, and it's been a hit! Small enough to easily take to a coffee shop or brewery, easy to learn, and we like the cooperative aspect.

Awesome game! Easy to learn too

The Gang by Thames & Kosmos offers a refreshing take on traditional poker by turning it into a co‑operative strategy game where players work together instead of competing. It’s easy to pick up, making it great for families and casual players, while still requiring teamwork, communication, and deduction to succeed. The gameplay is engaging and encourages group interaction, making it ideal for game nights. However, players expecting classic competitive poker may find it unconventional, and replayability can depend on group dynamics. Additionally, some may find the strategy lighter compared to more complex board games. Overall, it’s a fun, social game best suited for players who enjoy collaboration over competition.

Excellente value. Can be used to introduce Poker for people who don’t know how to play. Or poker player who wants to play cooperative. I think more for non poker players who will prefer Poker. A quick game.
