Gameplay Overview:

The game is played over the course of turns called thefts. On a given theft, one player known as the Thief, will secretly choose a card to steal from the Castle.

All other players will try to predict what card the Thief will take and attempt to stop them. If predicted correctly, the Thief is caught and a reward is given to the captor. Otherwise, the treasure is taken.

Along with Treasures, Officials will be corruptible and make future thefts even more cunning and deceitful. Be warned though, as more Treasure is taken from the Castle, the stakes continue to go up and each heist becomes that much trickier.

The thief with the most treasure at the end of the game is the winner.
