Who it's for

Fans of the original Bandido and cooperative tile-laying puzzles who enjoy quick, low-conflict games with a satisfying shared goal.

Not for you if…

You are looking for a game with meaningfully different mechanics from the original Bandido rather than a themed anniversary variation.

🦊

Vibe's take

Calm and puzzly despite the ticking-clock theme - each tile placement is a small collaborative decision about which paths to protect and which to sacrifice to the rising water.

About this game

This anniversary edition of Bandido sends the beloved escape artist on a new challenge: digging a way out of Alcatraz before the rising tide floods every tunnel. Players cooperate to lay tunnel tiles, gather equipment, and always leave exactly one open exit while sealing off every dead end.
