If you’ve ever idly stood in line at a bank, or worked an unrewarding job, and wondered “How would I rob this place?” then this is your game. At its heart The Last Job You’ll Ever Need is about planning and executing a daring heist. You’ll imagine any number of near-impossible challenges and how to overcome them.

This game is about stealing expensive stuff from undeserving people in competent and dramatic ways. Once you have successfully obtained your target, things will probably go to hell. All the slips, compromises, and risks you took obtaining the target will rain upon you. It’s very possible that not all characters will survive.

The Last Job You’ll Ever Need is a Table-Top Role-Playing Game (TTRPG) modelled on the Heist genre of movies. Each Player uses a standard deck of playing cards to create characters, and determine their strengths and weaknesses. Then one person will draw additional cards to reveal the nature of the heist: what you’re attempting to steal, from whom, and where it’s located.

The main focus of this game is to wager on your own competency by drawing cards against ‘The House’, balancing your wins against your losses as the situation escalates.

Number of Participants: 3 to 5, plus a facilitator called “The House”

Time: 1 to 2 hours, but usually around an hour and a half.

Materials: Each participant needs a standard deck of playing cards (inc. Jokers) and a Playersheet for organizing their cards and statistics. You’ll also need a way to record how you organize the heist.
