Description
Pack of Crooks is a semi-cooperative deckbuilding card game with a twist. Work as a team to pull off heists, then fight for the loot!
In Pack of Crooks, players are crooks who are working to complete jobs and collect loot.
To successfully complete jobs, you will need to work with a bunch of other crooks.
Your objective is to finish the game with the most loot.
To do this, you will need to purchase tool cards to build your own personal deck.
You will then use the cards in your hand to defeat the security in each room and negotiate for your share of the loot.
To beat each security card, players must play tool cards of the same color to equal or higher value.
For example, a Vault is a purple security card with a value of 20. Players will need to combine 20 points of purple tool cards.
Players will need to negotiate to decide who will defeat each room card, and how the loot will be split. The combination of players that can play the most points wins.
The game is finished when all jobs are complete. Players should count their loot.
Their tool cards are also worth the value they were purchased for.
Cards from a player’s starting hand have no value.
The winner is the player with the highest total.

Quotes (from this video)

- I really like that that game and the roses are beautiful the artworks great
- that's a sort of freeform racing game unlike any I've seen before it uses rather than having spaces on the tract it's just got a blank track and you use little tiles sort of war game style but you've got to do it quite quickly
- it's really cool I have not seen anything quite like that before so they'll be really good one to to keep our eyes on
- it's a little card sequence generating game you've got a few ways of you know take that to your other players so that that plays really nicely and really quickly
- it's not completely solitaire but not so much that you've got to try to strategize while watching what else is going on
- The 2019 cruise runs from the 9th to the 18th of September
- if you're not under the group code we won't get the forty people
- you know 40 people is the golden number to allow us to get a dedicated conference room for the duration of the cruise which gives us a little bit more freedom
- so we have a really small apartment um actually came today and it came with another package twelves able to hide it somewhere else and I have it on top of the cupboards I was worried when Tarrant went to the kitchen I said no no no don't go to the kitchen just like outside relax like like I'll make lunch

Quotes (from this video)
- We are a pack of crooks, we're all working together kind of, we're getting through some security but essentially we also whilst we're doing this, we're working out who gets the loot, so we're a semi coop type of deal going on here.
- It's a micro economic game where you get to play a florist trying to fill orders from a floral market but it's a little bit cutthroat.
- Rolling with the Waves is a high interaction rollin right, so something that not a lot of rolling rights have.
- Rat catcher is a solo board game based in Victorian England where you will be a rat catcher hunting down magical cheese and rescuing it from a horde of magically imbued rats.
- Animal Empire is a game about being animal monarchs in a world where all the humans are dead.
- It is an awesome card game that accidentally teaches you music theory.
- Runecax is a game kind of like a young adult fiction set in a fantasy world.
- Scuffin it's an all-you-can-eat diner set in the 80s it's a bit dodgy.
- I Have the Biggest Sword is about building the biggest sword.
- It's a battle royale game for about two to six players.
- It's absolutely a party game it sort of falls in the same vein it's like because against humanity' kind of thing but very quick play very quick to set up I'm very quick to play.
- We're more than happy to speak to those over the top door but until then we're happy to being the bottom of the barrel.
