Description
Burgle Bros. is a cooperative game for 1-4 players. Players are unique members of a crew trying to pull off a robbery of a highly secure building — without getting caught. The building has three floors (4x4 tiles), each with its own safe to crack. Players start on the first floor and have to escape to their helicopter waiting on the roof.
Players each have three stealth tokens. Whenever they are on the same tile with a guard, they lose one. If any player is caught without a stealth token, the game is over. If players can open all three safes, and escape through the stairs to the roof they win.

Quotes (from this video)
- We really feel like bagels trying to go from room to room looking for a safe then trying to escape it's pretty consistent with the theme.
- The tool cards for example the donuts cart that slowed the guard down which I really think it's really funny and suitable.
- What gets me to try this game in the first place is the box. It looks like three level building with helicopter landing on the rooftop. It looks really good very thematic.
- Gameplay we had fun playing this feels like a light fun game.
- This part is great it is more parsley it has some puzzle solving trying to escape the God and trying to go to the safe and stays in escape.
- The game seems to have a few variables it can make the game a little bit easy or a little bit hard with the random tiles layout so that can be a little bit swingy.
- So downtown is pretty low because it is a cooperative game and everyone's giving their own opinion went on other person's turns as well so pretty much I would say almost no downtime.
- The fact that they are great variable of the game but on the other side it could also means greater replayability.
- I think the game should probably be play lightly at least it has more party feel to it.
- Burgle Bros would be a good party style game because of the fun theme place pretty quick fun without trying too much to solve the puzzle path be better perhaps if one person know the full rules pretty well so the game can go pretty quick for party games.
