Thames & Kosmos The Gang | Co-operative Poker | Family Game | Game Night | Strategy Game | Ages 10+

First off I know next to nothing about how to play Texas Hold’ em so I had a steep learning curve to overcome in learning to play this one. I was able to learn the game fairly quickly because of how well the rules are written and the player aids. I watched on how to play Texas Hold’em as well. This is a cooperative game in which players lose or win together. As a team you are trying to put your individual hand of cards in sequential order from lowest to highest. If you get it right you get to flip over a vault card. Flip over the three vault cards and everyone wins of course. If you don’t everyone loses. You can add other cards to the game to make it more challenging once you learn the basic game. For me this is a great way to learn the various poker hands while playing a fun game. If you like to play card games and are looking for something new to try, I’d recommend this game because it’s easy to teach, fairly easy to learn and fun to play.

Great poker style game. This is a great game if you want that Texas Hold Em' feel but want a more cooperative style game. It is in same vein as games like "The Mind" or "The Crew", but third game is easier to teach people since most people are familiar with poker hands.

Easy to learn and fun to play! My friends and I play this weekly and we haven't gotten tired of it. I absolutely loathe texas hold'em but I LOVE this game. It's one of the few co-operative games I'll play.

My family (young adult kids and older parents) enjoys the game. We initially had some trouble with the cooperative concept with lots of laughter. We did get it soon enough. We had to slow down a bit when deciding how good our individual hands were. The concept isn’t difficult. My family was making snap judgments and rushing through it. Once we realized why we were struggling and slowed, it worked better. (Go figure.)We spent a cold Sunday afternoon around the kitchen table having fun. Well worth the stumbling . Looking forward to more afternoons together.

Fun but simple-to-play cooperate version of Texas Hold 'Em. Players have to correctly determine, without revealing the or discussing contents of their hands, which of them has the best hand, the second-best, third-best, etc.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very fun game! Super easy to learn and teach to anyone who knows even a little poker. Great casual game.

Honestly, one of the more fun games I have played in awhile. I don’t think this will be for everyone but it is for me and my friends.

It took a while to learn but this has become a favorite for a collab game for 6 people. It is harder with more people so we made up a variation where we aim to get the top 3 correct.
