Overview
BURGLE is a real-time dice rolling dexterity microgame. All players choose a set of dice and then simultaneously reroll them in rapid succession to be the first to complete all three tasks in order.
How to Play
Before the game begins, each player takes on the role of a thief and chooses a set of 2 matching dice to roll throughout the game. Each set has a unique special that alters the game rules (see Dice Sets below).
Designate a starter. When everyone is ready, the starter yells “Go!” All thieves begin rolling their dice repeatedly and announcing their progress as they attempt to complete each task in order. The three tasks are:
- First– Equip a cloak and dagger.
- Second – Sneak by the guards.
- Third – Steal the jewels!
A task is completed by rolling its corresponding pair; the first task requires a rolled Cloak & Dagger, the second task requires a rolled Sneak & Guard, and the third task requires a rolled Steal & Jewel.
...open the rulebook to finish the rest of the rules!
Dice Sets (Thieves)
There are 6 available dice sets (thieves) in the core game. Each thief has a unique special that alters the game rules. Below is an overview of the 6 core dice sets:

Vanish from the crafty thief seemed a little weak and semi fiddly since it only applied to a locked guard and not all double guard rolls.
So now it's updated ability reads:
After rolling double Guards roll both dice again. If either result on that next roll are a Cloak, you Vanish and do not have to start over.
