Success Instructions: Beginning your Heist will transport you to a special area, with its own Opportunity Deck. You will need to draw cards to gain Burglar's Progress. When your Progress is high enough – usually 5 – you will be able to claim your bounty.
But theft is not without its risks. You start a Heist with 3 Cat-Like Tread, representing your stealthiness. Failing checks within the Heist can reduce your Cat-Like Tread. When it hits zero, your presence has been noticed, and you will need to abandon the Heist – before the Constables catch you!
And remember – once you are within a Heist, you will not be able to change your outfit. Maximising your Shadowy and Dreaded may prove useful.
