About the game
What you do in a play session
In Cadwallon: City of Thieves, you're an ambitious thief in a city full of opportunities—and dangers. Your gang has been chosen to rob the city's wealthy merchants, but watch out: other factions from the Thieves' Guild are eyeing the same treasures. The game is a frantic race to collect loot, but don't expect fair play here. Thieves are treacherous, and you'll need to fight to keep your spoils safe. With action points and area movement mechanics, every turn is a strategic decision: push forward for new loot or defend what you've already grabbed. Dice rolls add a touch of chaos, while unique abilities for each gang ensure every game feels fresh. Get ready for a night of deceit, backstabbing, and loads of fun!
