Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Card Play — On your turn, you have the option to play your cards for sway or for um for crime.
  • Coin Collection — Your coins will be worth half a point each at the end of the game.
  • Deck building — it is a deck building game where you are committing larceny and heist with crooked monsters and monstrous crooks.
  • endgame trigger — Once somebody completes three of the heists [...] that will trigger the end game.
  • Heist Completion — You take a heist card, either a basic or an advanced, and then you need to work your way through completing the heist. And there's several steps to do that. If I cannot complete it in one turn, then I use one of these little cubes to show how far I got, and I then have to continue to work on this heist until it is complete before I can get another heist.
  • Ongoing Bonus — But when you complete it, you turn it over and it you won't know what this bonus is until you turn it over, but it's an ongoing bonus. So, completing heist is very beneficial for those ongoing bonus.
