Created by renowned game designer Reiner Knizia, Art Robbery is a fast-paced strategy card game where players compete to build the most valuable collection of stolen artworks. Steal from your opponents, protect your own loot, and collect enough alibis to stay one step ahead of the police. Easy to learn yet full of tactical decisions, every round is different and keeps everyone engaged until the very end.

Published by Swiss game publisher Helvetiq, Art Robbery is part of the After Dinner Games collection. With short rounds of around twenty minutes, it's easy to slip into a weekend bag, bring to a picnic or leave on the coffee table for spontaneous games with friends. The colourful illustrations by Swedish artist Petra Eriksson give the game its playful character.

We selected Art Robbery because of its thoughtful design, accessible rules and ability to bring people together. Whether shared with family or friends, it's a game that sparks conversation, friendly competition and plenty of laughter.
