Who it's for

Groups who enjoy confrontational card games with a bit of a mean streak and don't mind a little table talk turning tense.

Not for you if…

You'd rather avoid direct conflict at the table β€” Art Robbery is built entirely around players taking from each other.

Vibe's take

Sharp-elbowed and a little paranoid β€” every round is a fresh negotiation over who gets the good pieces, with the FBI clock always ticking in the background.

About this game

Art Robbery starts after the heist is already done β€” now you and your fellow thieves have to divide up four collections of stolen art without the whole thing falling apart. Over several tense rounds you jockey for the best pieces from a shared loot pool while collecting alibis to dodge the FBI closing in. Getting away with the score is only half the job; getting the biggest share of it is the real game.
