CAPER: Europe- Will you be the mastermind? + 2023

Play your cards right and you will be the greatest mastermind ever to roam Europe!

Your role as criminal mastermind is to recruit a crew of thieves, send them to locations across Europe, and provide them with gear. It is your job to utilize your resources efficiently to steal goods, but being a great mastermind is about more than the things you walk away with. It is the thrill of a well thought-out plan coming together: the set-up, the sting. Properly deploy your thieves and gear to dominate locations, outmaneuver your opponent's plans, and win the night. You have six rounds to plan and play your cards. Nothing like a tight timeline to up the stakes!

Caper: Europe is a two-player drafting game. You take turns sending thieves to famous locations across Europe, vying for control through special card powers. These thieves have tricks up their sleeves, which you can enhance by adding gear to them. Controlling the locations is not everything- priceless stolen goods await the thief who is clever enough to snatch them first.

Your goal is to score the most points by winning locations, collecting stolen goods, and equipping thieves with their preferred gear. The mastermind with the most points, tallied at the end of six rounds, wins.

Thanks so much for creating so many awesome games.You guys make my life better.

If I could suggest, is there a way to streamline the usability? It's definitely gotten more kloodgy on start a new game page. It's harder to find people and find the game. If I can help let me know. I have concrete actionable, easy to do UI improvements like bringing the important stuff higher on the page and making it easier to do.

Thanks!

Thank you BGA team. I've been on BGA for 11 years now, back in the days when there were less than 100 games I believe. It just keeps getting better and better. I appreciate you guys and your hard work. Keep it up!

One of the photos is recognisably of Flanders, if he was drawn in a non-Simpsons (ie. non-cartoon) art style.

Don't worry, it took me ages to notice it too!
