Make Off with the Loot Next Spring in ‘The Mansky Caper’

The Mansky Caper (Calliope Games)Calliope Games is preparing to unleash thievery and skulduggery onto Kickstarter next month with The Mansky Caper. Designed by Ken Franklin and set during the Roaring Twenties, the game pits players in competition to ransack the home of a mob boss in order to make off with all of his his valuables. Luckily for the players, the mobster just happens to be out of town when the heist goes down. The game is designed for two to six players, ages 8+, and plays in around sixty minutes. The release will be scheduled for Spring 2018. No word on MSRP yet for The Mansky Caper but once we get that info from the big boss we’ll give you the skinny.

From Calliope:

It’s 1925. You and your Family of Associates have been trying to get respect for years. But the richest mobster in the country, Al Mansky, has been cramping your style. Al’s a bit eccentric; he doesn’t trust the cops or banks, so all his loot is in his mansion, guarded by a diabolical security system of explosive traps. The good news is that he’s out of town.

It would be a shame if something happened to all that loot, but a Family (working together) that bested Al would make quite a name for itself. Of course, the most fame – and (dare we say) leadership of the Family – goes to the person who walks away from the job with the most loot.

Your colleagues may not agree with you – but you all owe each other favors. Calling in the right favor at the right time is what leadership is all about in this business. The key is to work together to help yourself – and don’t get blown up!

In The Mansky Caper, players team up to ransack rooms of Al Mansky’s mansion, opening safes to find the valuables inside. Split loot with others in the room, and watch out for twists of fortune and dangerous traps that can ruin your plans with a bang! The winner is the player who has accumulated the most loot in their private stash at the getaway car by the time Al’s mansion is completely ransacked.
