Bandido Alcatraz - Cooperative Tunnel Escape Card Game

Ten years after the original Bandido became a must-have pocket game, Helvetiq flips the concept on its head for this 10th anniversary edition. In Bandido Alcatraz, you are not trying to stop the prisoner anymore. You are helping Bandido dig out of the most famous prison in the world. Work together to build a tunnel network under San Francisco Bay, manage the rising water before it floods your escape route, and collect exactly the right gear before time runs out.

The cooperative card game magic that made the original such a hit is all here: fast setup, 30-second rules explanation, and a game that is quick to learn but genuinely tricky to win. The Alcatraz theme adds new wrinkles including water cards that must be covered before the deck runs out, and a gear-collection goal that gives every turn real weight. Tiny box, big table presence, and a satisfying challenge for ages 6 and up.
