Overview

Smash & Grab drops you into Sable City, a place that only comes alive after dark. Years ago, the police department's "Known Associates" files leaked, and those mugshots became the hottest trading cards on the street.

You run a crew, your reputation is Cred, and your collection is the Stash. It's a free-to-play trading card game with a noir twist, developed and published by Hashbang Games, and it launched on Steam on October 15, 2026.

Highlights

  • Five-Minute Heists: Each job takes about five minutes. Two crews of twelve walk into the same vault, and you take turns flipping crew cards. Every flip adds Haul to your bag but also raises the shared Heat meter. When it trips, everyone inside loses everything.
  • Risk-Reward Decisions: Bag It early for a small take, or push one more flip for a double. With three vaults per job, the biggest take wins. It's a tense push-your-luck strategy game where every flip matters.
  • Graded Pulls and Progression: Every pull is graded. Win Cred to buy Case Files from The Fence, which likely expands your options and deepens the collectathon loop. The game supports multiplayer, so you can test your nerve against other crews.

Who It's For

If you enjoy quick, strategic card games with a strong sense of atmosphere, Smash & Grab is worth a look. The noir setting and the shared Heat meter create a unique tension that's easy to pick up but hard to master.

It's also a great fit for fans of collectible card games who want something more compact and PvE-focused, though the multiplayer option adds a competitive edge. Since it's free to play, you can jump in and see if the heist life suits you.
