The Gang · German edition · (2024)
Your rating:
Excellent filler game that plays with the same magic as Hana-Bi and The Mind. But it has more game than the latter and can be played and iterated on more quickly than the former. It's been said this might be a good introduction to modern games for non-gamers. But don't underestimated how well the magic works for experienced players as well. It does seem to give an interesting insight into poker hand valuation. Most hands are terrible. Since everyone always shows their hands you can truly see how terrible. In poker lots of hands are not revealed.
