About the game
What you do in a play session
At the start of the game, each player secretly chooses a role: you could be the Wife, the Jeweler, the Detective, or the Master Thief. Each role comes with its own unique abilities and objectives, adding a layer of strategy and bluffing to the game. The main goal is to collect the largest haul of precious gems, but how you achieve this depends on your character and cunning. The memory mechanic is crucial, as you'll need to remember where gems are hidden and which drawers have been opened. Simultaneous action selection means everyone decides their moves at the same time, creating moments of tension and surprise when actions are revealed. It's a game that blends deduction, memory, and a party game feel, ideal for those who enjoy a mental challenge with a dash of social interaction.
