Burgle Bros
A heist is a great topic for a co-operative game and that's exactly what we have here. The players are a crack team of burglars, each with their own abilities. Together they aim to rob a highly secure building and get away with the loot.
Chunky cardboard tiles are laid out to represent the floors of the building and provide different layouts for different jobs. Some are easy, some are hard. The players move their 'meeples' to find the safes, dodging any guards along the way and trying to avoid setting off any alarms.
Having found a safe, players must spend time cracking it – one neat touch lets them make cracking it easier, at the cost of time. Once they have the loot, the team must get to the roof and away by helicopter. But if just one team member is caught, the game is up!
This is a tense and highly entertaining game, enhanced with some terrific artwork and comes in a tightly-packed box. I also have Burgle Bros 2 and the figures for the gang.
For 1-4 players, aged 12+, playing time 45-90 minutes: £40.00 (£33.33 outside the UK)
