## Description
In How to Rob a Bank, one player becomes the bank controlling guards while others form a heist team trying to clean out the vaults. The cool part? Everyone secretly plans actions using cards - like chess where you only see moves as they happen. Each round, robbers program their moves (grabbing cash, disabling alarms, distracting guards) while the banker tries to predict where the heist will strike. The modular board makes every game different, and the actual game box becomes part of the layout - super immersive! Tension peaks when actions are revealed and you see if your escape plan works or if you'll end up in jail. It's quick (just 30 mins), easy to learn, and perfect for cat-and-mouse dynamics with bluffing elements.
