In Masterminds: Heist Society you are the shot-caller, assembling a team of operatives to take down the toughest modern-day heists! We all love a good heist movie; Oceans 11, Baby Driver, Inside Man, and TV shows like Leverage bring us the thrill and suspense of assembling a team of specialists that combine their skills toward a common goal. Collecting the prize knowing they have pulled off the impossible. This game for 2-5 players aims to recreate the tension and thrill of planning and executing high-stakes heists, with cards and actions inspired by these movies and shows, as you and your fellow players take on the role of Masterminds. Combining drafting, dice-rolling, and a strategic press-your-luck style of mission completion, Masterminds - Heist Society will test your risk/reward intuition as you play. Players can take it safe & slow to skip the die rolling and guarantee a win, but another player may swoop in and grab the prize out from under you with a more reckless luck-oriented plan. Either way, the prize goes to the first team to complete each heist's combination of challenges. -description from the designer
