Cangaceiros is a strategic competitive game for 2 to 5 players in which each player plays a gang that tries to survive in the hostile desert territories, hunted by the Volantes, the state police trained to kill them. Each band will have a chief to choose from the 20 available, each with its own unique abilities and characteristics. The management of each 7 card deck is fundamental, such as collecting resources, placing bandits to guard a region, attacking the Volantes, assaulting the prison of the city of Recife, converting accumulated resources into fame, training your leader and recruiting new members for the gang. The different chiefs, the initial setup of cards and resources, the events and life goals distributed randomly make each game profoundly different from the last, offering a high re-playability.
