9 Positive User Reviews for Burgle Bros
Pretty but buggy
It’s a good looking adaptation
BUT
More often than I’d prefer things will just go wonky. Like having two raven icons on the board at the same time or hack tokens or working.
I would also appreciate the ability to unlock characters across devices. I don’t like having an advanced character on my iPad and not my phone.
I also think the map selection should be on the opening screen. I unthinkingly press start, and then I’m at the bank job again.
A couple flaws, punishing difficulty, but FUN!
I like boardgames, I play several, and this was indeed an easy purchase. On the plus side, the randomness adds a lot of emergent gameplay, and you wind up with a lot of decisions. On the minus side, it is HARD. I believe I have won 2 out of approximately 30 games. It's fine on the iPhone (cards need to be easier to read), and shines on the iPad. Definitely one to play with a friend at a table, but it's just super difficult.
Excellent puzzle with great theme
I've only won on the easy level but I'm having a great time puzzling through this clever game. Fun music, fun caper theme. Don't get if you don't like a challenge!
EDIT: I still have not won on the regular difficulty (I came close once) but I'm having a blast. Very clever trappy game. I will say sometimes you just have bad luck but every game I've also made mistakes so it's been partly my fault AND I've been playing with 3 burglars; 2 would be easier.
EDIT2: I won! Very satisfying. Also now new
Great adaptation
Burgle Bros is an excellent adaptation of the board game. It is very challenging but with multiple difficulty settings is most certainly winnable. And when you win it feels like a real accomplishment. Some of the UI can be a bit hard to see at times but this is a minor issue that does not prevent enjoyment of the game.
If you want a challenging strategy game that is never the same twice you will be happy.
Very fun
I really do like this game and is definitely a 5 star game but I have a occasional crash during gameplay on my iPad mini and also it's not saving my game play. Please fix and I will give this 5 stars
Holy crap it's impossible
Friends and I love the board game. We play it quite often and win occasionally. I've played this over 40 times TODAY! And haven't come close to making it through. I talked to my friends and they have the same thought. It's impossible
Addictive, fun, excellent
This port of the board game is so fun and well implemented. Highly engaging and addictive. It's a phenomenal board game here playable in all it glory with none of the set up and clean up or storage of pieces in the cardboard and wood game.
Great adaptation!
I own the board game and find this to be a flawless adaptation even the choice of theme music.

Great design but text too small on iPhone 8
I love the art design of the game and it’s a great concept. Probably on an iPad it’s perfect. But on my iPhone 8 the text was simply too small, and that got so frustrating I deleted it.
