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?

紙牌幫：一場不准討論手牌的德州撲克合作遊戲！
說實話，一聽到「合作撲克」這個詞，你是不是有點懷疑？這兩個詞聽起來似乎不太搭。撲克的精髓在於揣摩對手、虛張聲勢、智取勝，而不是互相幫助。但紙牌幫卻以一種既新鮮又保留撲克樂趣的方式，成功地詮釋了合作撲克。
你和你的團隊是一群策劃連環搶案的職業盜賊。 想破解保險庫，你們必須一起玩德州撲克。只要在觸發三次警報前成功完成三次搶劫，戰利品就是你們的了。
每局遊戲都遵循熟悉的撲克結構：你拿到兩張底牌，然後公共牌一輪一輪地翻開（翻牌圈、轉牌圈和河牌圈）。但不同的是，你不是下注，而是抓籌碼。每個籌碼代表你認為自己的牌相對於其他玩家的強弱。抓取最高星的籌碼？就表示你認為自己擁有桌上最好的牌。抓取1星的籌碼？就表示你認為自己是桌上最弱的一環。
「紙牌幫」的第一條規則是：禁止透露你的牌。不許暗示，不能眨眼，不准問任何「假設性」問題。籌碼就是你們唯一的語言。四輪過後，所有人依籌碼順序亮出底牌，如果牌型從弱到強排列且沒有出現任何錯誤，金庫就會打開。一旦出現任何差錯，警報就會響起。
無論你是撲克老手還是剛學會的新手，這款遊戲都會讓你在隊友自信滿滿地拿錯籌碼時，暗自抓狂。準備好上演一場完美的遊戲了嗎？
