Let’s be honest: hearing about “cooperative poker” made you a little skeptical. The two words don't exactly belong together. Poker is about reading people, bluffing, and outsmarting everyone, not helping them. But The Gang pulls it off in a way that feels fresh without losing what makes poker fun.
You and your crew are professional thieves orchestrating a series of heists. To crack the vaults, you'll need to play Texas Hold 'em together. Win three heists before tripping three alarms, and the loot is yours.
Each heist follows the familiar poker structure: you get two pocket cards, then community cards are revealed round by round (the Flop, Turn, and River). But instead of betting, you're grabbing chips. Each one represents how strong you think your hand is relative to everyone else's. Take the highest-star chip? You're saying you've got the best hand at the table. Grab the 1-star? You're calling yourself the weakest link.
The first rule of The Gang is: you do not talk about your cards. No hints, no winks, no "hypothetical" questions. The chips are your only language. After four rounds, everyone reveals their hands in chip order, and if the hands come out weakest to strongest without a single mistake, the vault opens. One slip, and the alarm goes off.
Whether you're a poker shark or someone who just learned what a flush is, this game will have you silently losing your mind as your teammate confidently grabs the wrong chip. Ready to pull off the perfect heist?

Ekipa: Coop poker u kojem ne pričate o svojim kartama!
Budimo iskreni: kada ste čuli za "kooperativni poker", postali ste pomalo skeptični. Te dvije riječi ne idu baš zajedno. Poker je čitanje ljudi, blefiranje i nadmudrivanje svih, a ne pomaganje. Ali Ekipa to izvodi na način koji djeluje svježe, a da pritom ne izgubi ono što poker čini zabavnim.
Vi i vaša ekipa ste profesionalni lopovi koji orkestriraju niz pljački. Da biste provalili u trezore, morat ćete zajedno igrati Texas Hold 'em. Pobijedite u tri pljačke prije nego što se aktiviraju tri alarma, i plijen je vaš.
Svaka pljačka slijedi poznatu poker strukturu: dobivate dvije džepne karte, a zatim se zajedničke karte otkrivaju rundu po rundu (Flop, Turn i River). Ali umjesto klađenja, uzimate žetone. Svaki predstavlja koliko mislite da je vaša ruka jaka u odnosu na sve ostale. Uzeti žeton s najvišom zvjezdicom? Kažete da imate najbolju ruku za stolom. Uzeti žeton s 1 zvjezdicom? Nazivate se najslabijom karikom.
Prvo pravilo Bande je: ne pričaš o svojim kartama. Nema namigivanja, nema namigivanja, nema "hipotetskih" pitanja. Žetoni su tvoj jedini jezik. Nakon četiri runde, svi otkrivaju svoje ruke po redoslijedu žetona, a ako ruke ispadnu od najslabije do najjače bez ijedne greške, trezor se otvara. Jedan promašaj i alarm se oglašava.
Bilo da ste pokerski fanatik ili netko tko je tek naučio što je flush, ova će vas igra tiho natjerati da poludite dok vaš suigrač samouvjereno grabi krivi žeton. Spremni za savršenu pljačku?
