Bandida

Bandida is a cooperative card game where players work together — or against each other — to either help a cunning prisoner escape or stop her in her tracks. A sequel to the best-selling Bandido, it builds on the same tunnel-laying mechanic with new items, special events, and three distinct game modes.

Each turn, play a card from your hand to extend the tunnel network, trying to either seal off all exits (cops win) or connect them all to the outside (Bandida wins). New special event cards shake up the action, and the choice of game mode — cooperative, competitive, or solo — means it plays differently every time.

What's good?

• Three game modes: fully cooperative, cops vs. Bandida, and solo
• New special event cards add variety beyond the original Bandido
• Compact card game that travels easily and plays in 15 minutes
• Accessible from age 6 — works well across a wide age range

• ✔ Fans of Bandido wanting more of the same with added depth
• ✔ Travellers needing a pocket-sized game that plays in 15 minutes
