The Gang: Cooperative Poker Card Game | Thames & Kosmos

Great fun game. Really simple to teach. In fact, it's better suited to a non-gamer who knows poker than a regular board gamer who doesn't. So very accessible. Components are nice, though you really can just play the basic version with a pack of cards and something to denote which rank each player is claiming (we used a load of dice). Is worth buying because you get extra cards that add variants. These are good for adjusting the difficulty (if you get too good at it). It works great at all player counts, but is pretty difficult with 6. That's a nice challenge though.

I’ve played this game with like 6 different groups of people. EVERY SINGLE ONE has text me after asking for a link and have purchased it themselves.

I found out about this game while playing it with a group of strangers at a board game festival, and bought it there and then! An absolutely great take on poker, making it collaborative and absolutely a game I want to play again and again. It is quick to set up and to understand, and I could play it all night!

Great game. Excellent value for money

Lots of fun and a great introduction to poker. It’s a collaborative game rather than a competitive game, so it brings you together. The setup and the time to learn isn’t hard and yet the game can be made more complex as you develop your understanding. We bought it as a family Christmas present to ourselves and have really enjoyed playing it. Contains cards and poker chips, and the instruction booklet is really clear and easy to read through and reference. I recommend you consider adding this as a bit of a catch all game. Small, so good for travelling, and also one which can live on your shelf at home.

Implementation of Poker for non betting people.

Awesome game - takes a few minutes to learn (less if people are already familiar with poker) & is pretty quick to play (5-10mins) so good filler game or if you don't have time for a meatier game. Small box so doesn't take up much shelf space & cheap for what it is. Highly recommend.

Great game. Poker with a twist.

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.
