Bandits (2008)

About this game

Bandits is a light Wild West gold rush card game where players attack and defend hide-outs stashed with gold. Booby trap and Backfire cards keep the action fast-paced as momentum swings from hand to hand with every play. Strategy is a key component to this game as players ponder when to stash gold and when to attack with everything they got.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
