About Burglar's Blitz, from BoardGameGeek:

Burglar's Blitz is a strategic push-your-luck card game where players take on the roles of burglars attempting to sneak into mansions, steal valuable loot, and escape before the police arrive. Thematically, it immerses players in a high-stakes heist scenario filled with risk, competition, and clever maneuvering. Each player must manage their limited loot bag capacity, make critical decisions about which items to take, and contend with the unpredictable effects of action cards. The gameplay revolves around drawing and managing cards. Players can draw cards from the deck or a junk pile, adding them to their loot bag or discarding them based on their value and utility. Action cards introduce dynamic elements, such as guard dogs that delay turns, burglar alarms that accelerate the police arrival, or getaway drivers that offer a chance to escape unscathed. Players must decide whether to play it safe and secure smaller rewards or risk it all for higher-value items while potentially getting caught. The game consists of four rounds, each ending when all players flee the scene or when the police arrive and bust everyone left in the mansion. Players score based on the value of the items in their loot bags if they successfully escape. The winner is the player with the highest total score after all four rounds. Tie-breaking rules ensure that even in close games, a decisive winner can emerge. With its blend of thematic elements, strategic decisions, and interactive gameplay, Burglar's Blitz offers a fun and engaging experience. It rewards players who balance risk and reward while outmaneuvering their opponents to claim the title of the ultimate mastermind. -description from the designer
