Smash & Grab

Game type and premise

Smash & Grab is a card-based game set in a fictional city called Sable City, playable on PC. It revolves around running a crew in a high-stakes environment where your reputation and collections matter. Players engage in a push-your-luck mechanic as they attempt to flip crew cards to accumulate Haul while managing the shared Heat level of an alarm system. There are several crews competing for the best take from three vaults.

Core mechanics

The game lets players choose a crew of twelve and face off against rival NPC crews in a series of quick jobs. Each round begins with players flipping cards that determine their Haul and Heat, leading to a potential tripwire that could empty their bags if the alarm goes off. Players must decide whether to take their earnings early or risk flipping additional cards for a bigger payout. The goal is to collect as much Haul as possible within the shared alarm system constraints.
