Description
The Burgle Bros are back with a cyberpunk sheen! After a dynamite-induced mishap, the team is propelled to a future dominated by AI and oppressive corporations. The classic Burgle Bros crew will use their old tricks as well as newfound skills to infiltrate and take down these corporations from the inside.
In this upgraded version of the classic cooperative heist, the players must leverage disguises to evade security. They need to find program cards to disable the ICE guarding the safe. All the room tiles are now double sided for more dynamic and intelligent level layouts. Players must effectively manipulate the corporate workers to gain info and even frame them when things go bad.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Alarm/AI progression with CIS ops and Omega Protocols — Enemies move on their own tracks, triggering alarms and escalating to more dangerous protocols as the game progresses.
- Color-coded program (hacking) cards — Program cards must be gathered and then combined by color to advance enemies and progress toward the main frame.
- Cooperative Game — In solo play you control two characters simultaneously, effectively simulating a two-player experience.
- Cooperative/duo play in solo mode — In solo play you control two characters simultaneously, effectively simulating a two-player experience.
- Disguise/gear forms and stealth management — Characters can shift between disguise and gear forms to manage detection and stealth, with cool/stealth resources tracked.
- Kill code/mega protocol finale to defeat main frame — Once enough conditions are met (colors and cards), players hack the main frame by managing the kill code and mega protocol threat.
- Multi-floor movement with stairs, jumps, and air ducts — Movement across floors uses stairs; some actions allow jumping (not counting as entering a tile) and other special movements like air ducts.
- Peek and information-gathering actions — Peeking at tiles and peeking through walls helps inform decision-making, at the cost of actions or risks.
- Worker tokens and charm actions — Charm actions recruit workers to draw program cards; workers can be exhausted, stood up, or moved to influence outcomes.
