Play Gangs online

Secretly send your gang across the city's districts and guess where everyone else will go.

Playing Gangs online

Bandas is the house's own invented game: 2 to 6 players, and everyone thinks at the same time, so nobody waits for anybody. With 3 or 4 it shows most who reads the table best; with 5 or 6 every district is a battle.

A game is seven nights and lasts five to eight minutes. Last place gets backup and the leader has the police on their tail, so it is rarely decided before the last night, which is worth double.

The table shows the five districts with their value and owner, and lets you split your gang with big − and + buttons. The reveal shows, district by district, every gang's thugs and which trick each played.

What gets settled before the start

Nothing: Bandas has no room options. It is always seven nights, five districts and ten thugs per gang.

Your first game

Split your thugs with each district's − and + buttons. The counter at the bottom tells you how many are left. To use a trick, tap it and then tap its icon on the district where you play it.

Press "Ready" when you are done. Until everyone has confirmed you can change it. You get 45 seconds a night; if it runs out, the table splits your gang for you at random.

During the reveal, each district shows one bar per gang. Watch what everyone did: it is the best clue for the next night.

How to start a game

1. Create a room from this page and share the code on screen with whoever is playing.
2. Everyone opens House Of Decks, enters that code and takes a seat at the table.
3. Once there are between 2 and 6 of you, the host deals and the game begins.
4. If you would rather not organise anything, drop into Quick Play and play with whoever is waiting.

Deck: Five districts, ten thugs per gang and a deck of 24 tricks · Players: 2 to 6 players
