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)
  • And so you're trying to constantly manipulate the guards, which is something that happens in many different heist movies where there are guards that you have to trick or or manipulate a little bit so that you can get into the museum or the bank or wherever you're trying to break into.
  • Among all these games might even capture the heist theme the best uh the core beats of a heist movie out of any of these games.
  • This doesn't exactly fit into heist themes in that like this is more like everyone is an independent robber trying to leech off of each other a little bit rather than assembling a team of people to go to one place together.
  • So I really like this idea of of bluffing, of table talk, of of sneakery, uh sneaking around to try to get to the location that you want without anyone else going there, and also trying to read other players and see the location they really want to go to and try to pick that location when they are the mastermind.
  • There's a lot of talk and negotiation almost between the players in those regards that I see in a lot of heist movies where the character dynamics are really really good.
  • Perhaps one of the best themed best heist themed games or games that lean into the heist theme and really hits many of these beats of a heist movie.
  • But as you play, your cards might come up in a different this deck building game in a different way than you were intending to go and you have to pivot and you have to choose a different way or a different artifact to target.
  • The only reason I didn't put it number one is that it isn't cooperative.
  • And so I chose The Game at number one even though The Game is fairly abstract.
  • Um but it is cooperative which I think is a key element of a of a heist game heist movie.
  • But it is a game about breaking into a bank or a vault and I I think it captures the heist theme pretty well even in its abstract nature.

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.
