Helvetiq | Bandido | Card Game | Ages 6+ | 1 - 4 Players

We were introduced to this by a family member and enjoyed it so much we had to get our own copy. It’s a great, simple card game that’s easy to pick up but surprisingly challenging to actually beat. The Gameplay - The premise is straightforward, but it can be frustratingly fun. You’ll often find yourself just one tunnel away from winning, only for the next player to have no choice but to lay a card that opens the map right back up. Before you know it, you’re dozens of turns deep and still chasing the win. I really like that it’s a co-op game; you don’t find many of those that are this accessible, and it means everyone is working together rather than falling out over it. Quality and Portability - The card quality is great, and the whole thing is nice and compact. It’s the perfect size for travelling or throwing in a bag for a trip. Our 9-year-old son absolutely loves it, and it's become a regular on our game nights. One Tip - The box might be small, but the game is definitely not! Make sure you have a large table to spread out on. As you play, the tunnels can grow in every direction and you’ll quickly find yourself running out of room if you start on say a coffee table. - Pros: . Easy to learn: You’ll be playing in minutes. . Co-operative: Great for family bonding rather than competition. . Travel-friendly: Tiny box that packs a punch. . Challenging: It’s harder to win than it looks! - Cons: . Table hogger: Requires a lot of surface area once the game gets going. Highly recommended for families looking for something quick to pick up and a bit different.

Great little game, perfect for travel. Its a different type of game as you all work together as a team. Its not too difficult to pick up so is suitable for a large age range. Its fun to play although you sometimes need a fair bit of space to play!

A challenging and engaging game , ideal for families and anyone who loves a strategic game.

This is a great little co-operative game for filling a bit of spare time. Quite small too - not much bigger than a standard pack of cards, so very portable. The only quibble I have is that, so far, we've either won really quickly or found that it becomes more or less impossibly hard to win. But that may just be our lack of skill!

We play a lot of board, dice and card games. This was recommended by friends and has become a family favourite Playable by children from 8+, quick to learn and never the same twice But this and then get Bandida for twice the fun

A great little game which makes you think! It can be played cooperatively and lasts about 10-15 minutes. Easy to pop into your bag as a holiday game.

This is such a fun little game. It requires a mix of luck and strategy and does not take long to play. Some games are over in seconds but mostly they last a bit longer and end up in bandido escaping. If a game lasts longer you will need quite a bit of space to fit all the cards, we usually play on the carpet. It's a good game to play solo too. The only negative is I wish the cards were slightly better quality. Some of ours are now bent from playing and we've had the game less than 2 months, although to be fair we've played this game a lot.

Very enjoyable small box game for my children (age 7 & 9) and I. Simple to learn and easy to get out and play with decent quality cards and quick to learn rules. Do mind that it does need quite a bit of space. Regardless, we recommend this game - fun, quick and entertaining.

Man tror det ska vara ganska enkelt att vinna, men det är mycket svårare än man tror och vi vann ingen runda första sittningen, men vi märkte att det blev enklare ju mer man pratade om hur man enklast skulle bygga.

Bandido ist bei uns ein echter Dauerbrenner. Habe es eigentlich für die Kinder geholt, aber auch wir Erwachsenen sind schnell hängen geblieben. Die Regeln sind einfach, trotzdem fordert es strategisches Denken. Man muss zusammenarbeiten, um Bandido an der Flucht zu hindern – das sorgt immer wieder für spannende Momente. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass eine Runde schnell gespielt ist, aber oft gleich die nächste folgt, weil man es doch noch besser machen will. Auch unterwegs super, nimmt kaum Platz weg und braucht nur wenig Tischfläche. Fazit: Einfach, schnell, macht süchtig. Perfektes Spiel für zwischendurch.

Divertido juego, original, entretenido

Juego muy divertido, grupal y fácil de entender. Llegó rápido y en perfecto estado.

Super jeu, les parties sont relativement rapides (env. 15 min).. pas besoin de lire 1 livret de règles, on peut s'y mettre après 3 secondes ! Super en famille, entre collègues mais attention, même si la boite de jeu tient dans une poche, il faut prévoir un très grand espace de jeu (une grande table ou même par terre) !!!
