 * You play as a master thief preparing for one big job, but along the way, you're going to assemble a crew of specialists from a really fun cast of characters.
 * One of the objectives of this book will be to travel around the world meeting cool, ridiculous, bad-ass criminals, and then decide which of them gets to be on your team that you assemble.
 * Each potential crew member you'll meet has a specific skill set as well as a unique personality, and whoever you choose will be with you for the rest of the book... The good news is, you can always play it again with a completely different group of characters.
 * As the leader of a crew, you'll get to hand-pick people for these roles.
 * In regards to the brainstorming process, Jen says that there's a lot of moving pieces to manage.
 * Whereas Owen says it involved a lot a lot of maps, charts, devious scheming, and brainstorming fun character voices.
 * Iris said in the interview that early brainstorms involved many diagrams, which were scribbled on whiteboards. But that her favorite part was thinking about how different crew members will banter with each other in fun, personality-clashing ways.
 * In regards to some final tips for players ahead of the book's debut: Owen encouraged players to try playing it a second time with a completely different crew, and see the different interactions and conversations you unlock.
 * Or... Play it again and do poorly. He teased that they've planned MULTIPLE endings, so players can see what trouble your characters get into if your plans go awry...
 * Jen advised players to try and remain calm under pressure since there's going to be a lot of tense moments in here with some quick decision making.

 * Similar to Most Wanted and The Crown &amp; The Flame, you can earn points based on making the right decisions.
