Who it's for

Groups who already like Bandido's puzzle and want more variety, or anyone who enjoys switching between cooperative and competitive play.

Not for you if…

You just want the simplest possible pure co-op β€” the mode choice adds a layer of decision that Bandido skips entirely.

Vibe's take

Flexible in mood β€” quietly cooperative one session, quietly suspicious of your tablemates the next, depending on which mode you pick.

About this game

Bandida flips the script on its predecessor Bandido: this time you can play the cop trying to stop her escape, or the accomplice helping her slip away. Three different play modes β€” fully cooperative, fully competitive, or a mix of both β€” sit on top of the same tunnel-sealing tile game, so the same small box plays very differently depending on your mood.
