So much fun it’s criminal!
Thieves’ Highway
The drive will never be the same.
The year is 1928, the wild age of speakeasies, gangsters, and getaway cars. Five crime bosses — Big Joe Bransen, Smiley Moe, Syd Swindler, Frank, and Lou — have taken over your town. They’ve robbed the banks, bribed the courts, and made life miserable for everyone else.
Your mission is simple to say, but tricky to pull off: capture all five bad guys and recover $50,000 in stolen cash. Do that, and you’ll be one roll away from a victory dance.

The Storyteller
About the Creator
Thieves’ Highway was created by Jerry Gulbransen, a storyteller at heart with a passion for classic crime, strategy, and the atmosphere of the roaring twenties.
Inspired by the larger-than-life characters and lawless spirit of the era, Jerry set out to create a board game filled with risk, suspicion, strategy, and unexpected turns.
The result is Thieves’ Highway — a fast-paced game where players navigate a town overrun by criminals, recover stolen cash, and try to bring Big Joe and his gang to justice.
The character art for the bad guys and lawyers came from Jerry’s uncle, artist John Moe — a family affair through and through.
With its distinctive characters, vintage-inspired artwork, and unpredictable gameplay, Thieves’ Highway brings Jerry’s vision of the roaring twenties to the tabletop — where anything can happen… and usually does!
