How To Play

Burgle Bros is a cooperative rogue-like puzzle game with tile exploration and problem solving.

Objective

Open all safes and then escape with the loot through the Stairs on the top floor. All members of the heist team need to make it to the roof to win so avoid losing stealth tokens.

On Your Turn

Take up to 4 actions then the guard will move on your current floor. If you take 2 or fewer actions on your turn an event will be triggered. You can perform the actions in any order and you can do the same action multiple times in a turn if possible.

Actions

Peek : reveal adjacent room tile

Move : move to an adjacent room tile (does not need to be revealed to move on to it and will become revealed)

Tile specific action : Hack a computer, add a die to a Safe (uses 2 actions), roll dice on Safe tile

Character specific action :

Tool specific action :

Characters

All characters have a basic ability and an advanced ability, depending on the table settings you may get to chose which ability your character will have for the game.

The Acrobat

Basic ability: You may move into a tile with a guard as a free action and will not lose a stealth token if you leave the tile before the guard moves (meaning you leave the tile with the guard before ending your turn in order to not lose stealth).

Advanced ability: If you are on a perimeter tile you may spend 3 actions to move up or down one floor to the corresponding tile, doing so immediately ends your turn. You can do one action before using the character action to utilize all four actions.

The Bank Job

The building is 3 floors arranged in a grid of 4x4 room tiles so 16 tiles per floor. There will be 1 safe and stairs per each floor. All the tiles listed in tile distribution will be in the building.
