Stealing Mona Lisa is a board game released in 2016 for 3–7 players, 15–40 minutes per game, and ages 4 and up. It was designed by Adam Whitney and its main mechanics are Simultaneous Action Selection and Open Drafting.
Stealing Mona Lisa is a card drafting card game for 3 to 7 players. Each player plays the role of an art thief who puts together teams to steal famous works of art (like Ocean's Eleven). To do this, each round players look at what various art is up for stealing. Each piece of art shows what skills are needed for stealing it. Then, simultaneously players drafts cards with different skills to help them complete the job they want to try. The game is quick, easy to learn, and laugh out loud fun!
Stealing Mona Lisa supports 3–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Stealing Mona Lisa is 15–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Stealing Mona Lisa for ages 4 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Stealing Mona Lisa has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
