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?

纸牌帮：一款不允许讨论牌的合作扑克游戏！
说实话，一听到“合作扑克”这个词，你是不是有点怀疑？这两个词听起来似乎不太搭调。扑克的精髓在于揣摩对手、虚张声势、智取胜，而不是互相帮助。但纸牌帮却以一种既新鲜又保留扑克乐趣的方式，成功地诠释了合作扑克。
你和你的同伙是策划一系列劫案的专业盗贼。要撬开金库，你们需要一起玩德州扑克。在触发三次警报之前，成功完成三次劫案，战利品就归你们了。
每局游戏都遵循熟悉的扑克结构：你拿到两张底牌，然后公共牌一轮一轮地翻开（翻牌圈、转牌圈和河牌圈）。但不同的是，你不是下注，而是抓筹码。每个筹码代表你认为自己的牌相对于其他玩家的强弱。抓取最高星的筹码？就表示你认为自己拥有桌上最好的牌。抓取1星的筹码？就表示你认为自己是桌上最弱的一环。
“纸牌帮”的第一条规则是：禁止谈论你的牌。不许暗示，不许眨眼，不许问任何“假设性”问题。筹码就是你们唯一的语言。四轮过后，所有人按筹码顺序亮出底牌，如果牌型从弱到强排列且没有出现任何错误，金库就会打开。一旦出现任何差错，警报就会响起。
无论你是扑克老手还是刚学会同花顺的新手，这款游戏都会让你在队友自信满满地拿错筹码时，暗自抓狂。准备好上演一场完美的劫案了吗？
