About the game
You break into banks, shops, and other guarded buildings, then carry the valuables back to your escape vehicle. Each robber has only one working arm. Picking a lock, handling a weapon, and moving a bag become separate jobs that compete for that hand. You can sneak past security or turn a failed quiet approach into a fight with the police. Successful jobs unlock more tools and weapons for later heists.
Friends join online and divide the work. One player can deal with guards and their phones while another opens doors or carries the loot. Plans need practice, but clumsy handling and badly timed mistakes also give the group something to laugh about. You return to individual heists to try new equipment and cleaner approaches.
How it feels
Kind of game
A group of friends, loose goals and a lot of messing around. Failing is part of the fun, and the best moments are the ones nobody planned.
