The Glasgow Train Robbery

A two-player cooperative game set in 1960s Scotland where players portray key members of a criminal crew planning a train heist. Players jointly prepare the robbery by gathering equipment, misleading investigators, and coordinating actions under restricted communication. Gameplay unfolds over a variable number of turns as players complete plan cards before the train reaches its destination, with one player handling the initial planning tasks and the other resolving the final execution. Tension comes from limited communication, evolving investigation markers, and time pressure; success requires synchronizing actions and managing clues to avoid capture.
