Board Game Geek Average Player Rating: 7.92. Ideal for 2 to 5 players and published in 2018. This is a Kickstarter Edition Bundle from Daily Magic Games. It includes the Thieves Den core board game, the Fortune Favors the Bold expansion, 55 wooden treasure tokens, and all unlocked stretch goals. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. Set in the world of 10 Minute Heist: The Wizard’s Tower, players step into the shoes of master thieves. They dispatch hirelings to the city to steal the best treasures and then sell these stolen goods to underworld fences to boost their reputation. Some treasures can be traded with the wizard Alazar for special powers. The game is played over three rounds. In each round, players draft three location cards as thieving targets. All locations are public. Then, players take turns sending minions to locations to grab loot. You can send thieves to any location, but if it's another player’s location, that player might get a prize like extra treasure or more thieves. Players can also send thieves to carry specific treasure assortments to fences and earn reputation points. Building relationships with specific fences can get you bonus reputation points. After three rounds, the player with the highest reputation becomes the town's new crime lord. At TheGameSteward, we're excited to support campaigns to bring you great games like this one. A large percentage of every dollar you spend on this bundle will go towards backing amazing new games on Kickstarter. If you have any questions about purchasing, online buying, or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
Using this game is easy. First, set up the game by laying out the Thieves Den core game components and adding the Fortune Favors the Bold expansion pieces. The 55 wooden treasure tokens should be placed within reach. For each of the three rounds, draft three location cards as your thieving targets. When it's your turn, send your minions to the locations to get loot. Remember, if you send them to another player’s location, they might get a prize too. You can also send thieves to the fences with special treasure assortments to earn reputation points. Try to build relationships with specific fences for bonus points. After three rounds, the player with the highest reputation wins. As for maintenance, keep the cards in a dry place and avoid bending them. The wooden treasure tokens can be wiped clean if they get dirty. And always put all the components back in the box neatly after playing to keep everything organized.
