In Museum Rush the players are racing to steal as many valuable exhibits as they can from the museum before the time runs out. To evade the more-or-less vigilant guards, the would-be museum thieves use such unlikely schemes as sultry Llamas, mighty Underwear, or high-tech Cardboard Boxes.
During the game, players use cards to move and steal while avoiding the guards, picking locks, and evading cameras. Should a burglar get caught, they’ll be expelled from the museum and lose their loot, forced to start over again. When the last “Clock” card is drawn, the game ends and the player with the most valuable treasure wins.
Museum Rush comes with 9 guard pawns, 6 thief pawns, 28 board tiles, 77 cards, 3 dice, and 16 tokens. The game can be played by 2 to 4 players, ages 14 and up, and takes about 45 minutes. MSRP is $39.99.
