Steal the most valuable items from the museum, foil your opponents' attempts to do the same and escape without getting caught! Press your luck each round by beginning your turn drawing a card from a scattered pile of face-down cards called The Museum. Iconography and Wayfinding will guide you through take-that style strategy in order to foil your opponents. Thief Cards represent what you’re up to in the darkness of the Museum, like sneaking, swiping, stashing and stealing. But while you're collecting loot, remember to keep a close eye on the remaining time and the alerted Security to plan the perfect getaway. Escape from the Museum with the most black market credits (BMC), and pull off the grandest heist of all time!
