If you have ever tried to add Burgle Bros to your collection and found it sold out everywhere, there is good news. Tim Fowers' cooperative heist game is getting a fresh print run, with Fowers Games confirming a reprint arriving in May 2026. The game has been hard to track down in the US for a while, so a restock is worth flagging to anyone whose group has been waiting to crack the safe.

Set up your group for freeBurgle Bros is a co-op caper for 1 to 4 players that plays out like Ocean's Eleven in board game form. Your crew of thieves has to break into a multi-storey building, crack a safe on every floor and escape from the roof, all without being spotted by patrolling guards. The building is built from tiles, so every heist is a fresh puzzle, and a clever twist lets you swap floors around to dodge a guard who is closing in. Gadgets like smoke bombs and EMPs give you tools to bend the rules at the right moment.
It is the kind of game that rewards a group thinking out loud together, because one player's bad luck quickly becomes everyone's problem. That tension, plus a friendly rules weight, has kept it a co-op favourite since release and spawned sequels, including a casino-themed second game and a third instalment.

It keeps Burgle Bros on shelves and out of collector-price territory, and it shows Fowers Games is still investing in the series rather than letting it quietly disappear.
