Our take on Antihero
The page gives substantial space to the Master Thief Edition’s soundtrack and character skins, but those extras do not change the core play described: guild management, theft, and competitive matches. The campaign and multiplayer formats are the main gameplay structure.
What is Antihero?
Antihero is a digital board game about running a thieves guild in a Victorian city.
Recruit street urchins, hire thugs, build a gang, and improve the guild while competing to take the city’s wealth. Infiltrate businesses and estates, set traps, and use bribery, blackmail, or assassination against rivals. Spend gold on recruits, thieving skills, and weapons. The game includes a story-driven campaign, AI skirmishes, and online and offline PvP. Multiplayer offers casual and ranked play, asynchronous matches with friends, and live matches. Custom house rules let players change match settings. An in-game leaderboard ranks Master Thieves. The Master Thief Edition also includes the official soundtrack and character DLC packs.
