The Mansky Caper

About this board game

The Mansky Caper is a 50-minute heist game for 2–6 players, in which rival family associates work together to ransack a mansion filled with loot and explosive traps.

It is 1925, and Al Mansky—the richest mobster in the country—has left town. His fortune is stored inside his mansion rather than in a bank, but a diabolical security system protects the valuables. This is the perfect opportunity for a Family to make a name for itself.

Players team up to search the rooms of Al Mansky’s mansion and open safes containing valuable loot. When a safe is opened, the loot is split with the other associates in the room, creating opportunities to work together while still pursuing personal wealth.

• Ransack rooms and open safes to discover valuables.
• Share loot with the other players in the room.
• Call in favors at the right time to support your plans.
• Watch for twists of fortune and explosive traps.

Cooperation is essential, but everyone has their own private stash and their own claim to leadership. The right favor at the right moment can help your caper succeed, while a dangerous trap can ruin your plans with a bang. Players must help the Family without losing sight of their individual fortunes.

In The Mansky Caper, the mansion is gradually stripped of its contents until the entire job is complete. The winner is the player with the most loot accumulated in their private stash at the getaway car when Al Mansky’s mansion has been completely ransacked.
