The Furglars is a board game released in 2019 for 2–6 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Ken Gruhl and Quentin Weir and its main mechanics are Take That and Dice Rolling.
The Furglars is a dice rolling family game that takes game night to a strange and mysterious place. Players take turns rolling an ever-changing quantity of dice hoping to capture Furgles, which are represented by the furry side of each die. Furgles are then traded in for precious Bullion Points. The dice also feature a lock icon which protects Furgles, and a hand icon that can be used to pick locks and steal Furgles from other players. The first player to collect 15 Bullion Points wins the game!
The Furglars supports 2–6 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 The Furglars is 15 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 The Furglars for ages 7 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.
The Furglars has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
