About the game

What you do in a play session

In 10 Minute Heist: The Wizard's Tower, you and your friends are thieves raiding a wizard's tower for treasure. Each game is a race against the clock (literally, it's just 10 minutes!) to loot as many valuable items as possible before making your escape. The game blends quick strategy with a bit of luck: you'll need to decide whether to focus on collecting specific sets of paintings, artifacts, or jewels, or to rush to be the first to escape for bonus points. But watch out for cursed items — they can turn your score upside down! With a modular board that changes every game, each playthrough is a new adventure full of quick decisions and calculated risks. Perfect for fans of light games with a dash of friendly competition.
