based on 9 reviews

Positive 0%
Mixed 0%
Highly thematic gameplay, often compared to an "Ocean's Eleven" film.
Engaging and varied Heist Finales that offer diverse and memorable conclusions to games.
Improved and more flexible character abilities through gear cards that keep players engaged.
Increased replayability due to the variability introduced by chips and numerous unique finales.
Generally considered a more streamlined experience in certain aspects, such as having only two floors, addressing a common criticism of the first game's length.
A noticeable amount of randomness, particularly from safe cracking, bouncer movement, and poker chip effects, which some critics found could lead to frustration or excessive mayhem.
The 3D box setup, while visually appealing, was found by some to be impractical, obscuring the first-floor tiles and creating functionality issues.
Some felt the game could be a bit less direct in its narrative compared to the original, with events happening *to* players rather than *by* them.
Minor criticisms include a slightly larger box size and difficulties with sticker application during setup.

Exciting theme well-realised. Enjoyable co-op puzzle: thinky but light enough to keep the humour.
