The Great Brain Robbery (TGBR) is a card and board game designed by James Ernest and released in 2000 by Cheapass Games.

It is a wild west themed sequel to Give Me the Brain, and the fourth in the Friedey's series of games. Players assume the role of zombies attempting to rob a speeding train full of brains. The game is played on a board made up of train carriages, printed on eight double-sided boards. As the players move forward through the carriages, new ones are added and old ones fall off, giving a varied and changing game board. TGBR was the first Cheapass board game to come in a sturdy cardboard box.

In 2001, TGBR won the Origins Award for Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Board Game 2000.
