The Job: The Epic Heist and Robbery Role-Playing Game

The plan is ready. The team is in place. All that's left is to take action.

The Job is a standalone role-playing game specifically designed for "One-Shot" sessions (approximately 3 hours). There are no endless quests to save the world here: you're here for one thing only, the Big Score. Diamonds, gold bars, works of art, or state secrets... the target doesn't matter, only success counts.

The concept? The game takes place in two distinct phases: Preparation and Action. Players choose from 8 iconic roles (the Acrobat, the Con Artist, the Brute, the Driver, etc.) and build their plan before seeing if reality catches up with them on the ground.

Why The Job is a must-have for narrative RPGs:

• A Unique Tension Mechanic: Instead of simple calculations, the game uses a physical dice stack in the middle of the table. With each failure or complication, dice are added to the stack. If the stack collapses... it's chaos, the alarm sounds, and the net tightens around your team!

• Inspired by "Caper" Cinema: The game perfectly captures the atmosphere of heist movies. You'll find flashbacks, last-minute plot twists, and the adrenaline of closing escape routes.

• Zero Preparation (Low-Prep): Unlike many RPGs, the game master (the Referee) doesn't need to spend hours preparing the scenario. Everything is built with the players during the planning phase.

• Minimalist and Elegant: The book is a beautiful, carefully illustrated object that gets straight to the point: giving you the tools to experience a memorable heist.

Why choose The Job from La Botte Secrète?

• The perfect introduction: At La Botte Secrète, we highly recommend it for introducing role-playing to friends. The theme is known to everyone and the rules can be explained in 10 minutes.

• The Game for Impromptu Evenings: No need for a six-month campaign. You pull out the book, hand out the roles, and you're off for 3 hours of total immersion.

• A challenge for "Real" Players: Beneath its narrative aspect, the game is demanding. Either you pull off the heist of the century, or you end up behind bars. There's no middle ground.

Technical Characteristics:

• Number of players: 3 to 5 (1 Referee + 2 to 4 robbers).

• Age: 14+.

• Game duration: Approximately 3 hours.

• Game type: Role-playing, Narrative, Heist, Suspense.
