About the game
Get ready for a post-heist adventure in Art Robbery! You and your crew just pulled off a major score at an art museum, slipping away unnoticed with pockets full of valuable treasures. But hold on, the hardest part isn't over yet: now it's time to divide the loot and the artworks! In each round, you'll face off against each other, trying to grab the biggest share of the four available collections. Whoever is the sharpest and manages to accumulate the most loot wins the glory. But watch out, the FBI is on your tail! To avoid ending up behind bars, you'll need to be cunning and gather enough alibis to throw the police off your scent. It's a fast-paced card game where managing your hand is crucial, and 'take that' interactions between players can turn the tables at any moment. With simple rules and quick games, Art Robbery is perfect for those who enjoy a heist theme with a dash of tension and plenty of strategic fun. Think fast, play shrewdly, and try not to get caught!
