The Cooperative Poker Game
Round up your gang and get ready to pull off a series of bank heists using the power of poker! The Gang is an innovative, cooperative version of a poker game 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.

Early in a round, without talking to each other, players choose a chip indicating how good they think their hand will be. They then begin dealing out cards in 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 if they correctly evaluated their hand. If all players did, then they will get to open one of the bank vaults! Once a certain number of vaults are open, your gang wins!
