(More customer reviews)This game is a lot of fun. It is much more challenging and complex then it first appears. It has a simple board with 6 differently colored palaces placed on it. There are 4 sets of differently colored thieves and guards as well as a set of neutral guards. These wooden pieces are well made and quite durable. The artwork on the cards are simple yet quite beautiful as each card simply represents one of the 6 colored palaces.
The object of the game is to get your thieves into the palaces and steal a certain number of treasure chests (based on the number of players, for example with a 4 player game you need to steal 5 chests).
The complexity of the game comes in when you consider how to move your guards and the neutral guards to hinder other players as well as help yourself. The more guards that are not yours at a palace means placing a thief there costs more cards of the right color, yet you need to have at least one of a different color to be able to place thieves and steal the tresure.
Overall I was greatly impressed by the apparent simplicty of the game that was actually a wonderful strategy game. I highly recommend this one.
