Bandido

I recently picked up Bandido, a cooperative game that tasks players with stopping a cunning prisoner from escaping through a network of tunnels. The premise is simple: you work together to block off the tunnels using cards, and the first player to successfully contain the bandido wins. While the game has a relatively small footprint, with just a deck of cards and a small box, it manages to provide a surprisingly engaging experience.

I've found Bandido to be a great game for both family game nights and casual gatherings. It's easy to learn, even for young players, and the cooperative nature encourages teamwork and communication. The game can be quite challenging, especially as the number of players increases, but it's never frustrating.

One of the things I love about Bandido is its portability. The small box makes it easy to pack for travel, so you can enjoy a quick game at the park, on a road trip, or even at a restaurant. I've also found that it's a great game to break out during downtime, like waiting for a meal or during a lull in conversation.

Overall, Bandido is a fantastic cooperative game that I highly recommend. It's engaging, challenging, and fun for players of all ages. If you're looking for a great way to spend some quality time with family or friends, I encourage you to give Bandido a try.
