Billie Queen's gang has struck again, with the heist of the century! Until December 17, relive the historical Bonta bank heist in what is shaping up to be an explosive season.
A Rogue's life isn't an easy one – mainly because it depends on what they can steal from others, and that admittedly is downright dangerous. When you see them, it's usually too late to run away. Their philosophy can be summed up with one rule – probably the only rule they follow – "If it's yours, it's mine!" And if you so much as think the opposite might also be true, you'll end up missing a few teeth.
After the Great Wave, some tried to diversify their activities to fit into the new society. Their first idea wasn't all that bad – bomb fishing. But after a strange series of "unlucky" – so they said – merchant ships exploding and the cargo disappearing "as if by magic", the activity was banned. The result? They went back to what they do best: stealing, trafficking, pillaging, and of course… illegally blowing things up.
Rumors were rife that Billie Queen is getting ready for something big, but no one expected a plan that daring… A member of the Billy Clan and a specialist in spectacular "big clean out" operations (as she likes to call them), she went all out. Discretion? No so much. For her, the bigger the explosion, the louder the bang, the better the show! And it's the Bonta safe that'll be center stage… this time.
Money, Money, Money!
Leading an elite gang, her "brothers-in-bombs", Billie Queen knows exactly who to pull into her audacious and lucrative plan. You'll be calling the shots for this gang of thieves, each of which is an expert in their field: Billy Bob is the fastest at pocketing kamas and slipping away; Billy Kid has a real gift for relieving his colleagues of too-heavy purses while giving them a second wind; Billy Kroger can fleece his enemies better than anyone else; and Big Bill, a beefy brute whose strength speaks for itself. And, of course, Billie Queen, the brains of the operation.
Your goal? Fill your pockets!
To earn the title "heist of the century" and make it to the front page of the island gazettes, you'll have to show perfect coordination to amass as many piles of kamas as you can and get them out of the bank in record time. Six turns – that's all you have to pull off the perfect heist. Careful, though. Bags of kamas are heavy and each Rogue can only carry five at a time. The guards aren't going to sit by and do nothing, either. They'll keep calling in reinforcements to stop you from making off with the coveted coins.
Will you be able to guide Billie Queen's gang to their biggest haul yet, or will your career as a criminal mastermind be cut short?
Get Your Fill of Roguish Business!
The Rogue saying "never put all your bombs in one basket" is so well known that their clan decided to branch out into sales, putting a few of their creations on the market. As you've probably guessed, the practice was quickly banned. Clearly, compliance with safety norms "might" not have been as stringent as it could have been – yes, there were "unlucky" explosions involved. That said… With the Platinum Pass, you'll have access to Rogue goods of "indisputable"* quality (in their words). And it'll be perfectly legal, too: a Boombot pet, Rogue Hood headgear, and even Time Bomb tracks. A full 56 items await your perusal starting today in the in-game Shop!
