Objective of the Game

Bandido is a cooperative board game where players aim to prevent a notorious bandit from escaping prison. Players work together to strategically place cards to surround and block all escape routes from the bandit's cell.

Game Components

  • 1 Start Card (depicting the bandit in his cell with 5 or 6 exits)
  • 69 Tunnel Cards, displaying various tunnel structures

Setup

  1. Place the Start Card in the center of the table. This card shows the bandit in his cell, surrounded by several tunnels.
  2. For beginners, use the card with 5 tunnels; experienced players may use the card with 6 tunnels.
  3. Shuffle the Tunnel Cards and deal 3 cards to each player.
  4. The remaining cards form the draw pile.

Gameplay

  1. Player Turn: The active player places one of their three cards onto an existing tunnel end to expand, branch, or block the tunnel.
  2. Placement Rules:
    • Cards must be placed so they seamlessly fit with the existing tunnel structures.
    • It's possible to close tunnels by completely blocking an end.
  3. Drawing New Cards: After placing a card, the player draws a new card from the draw pile to maintain three cards in hand.
  4. Winning the Game: The game immediately ends successfully if all tunnel exits are blocked.
  5. Losing the Game: If the draw pile is exhausted and the team hasn't managed to block all tunnels, the bandit escapes and the team loses.

Strategic Tips

  • Communication: As a cooperative game, players should openly discuss strategies and collectively decide where to place cards for maximum effect.
  • Minimize Risks: Quickly aim to block tunnels to reduce the number of potential escape routes.
  • Card Distribution: Ensure cards are evenly distributed so no player is stuck without being able to perform a productive action.

Bandido is a simple yet thrilling game that requires quick thinking and great teamwork.
