## Description
Prepare to enter the underworld in Thief's Market, a dice game where greed and cunning reign supreme! Here, you and your fellow rogues are elite thieves competing to see who becomes the most notorious in town. Each round, the fun begins with the roll of the loot dice. The first player divides the spoils, and in turn, you grab what you can, but be careful not to be too generous, or a clever colleague might outsmart you. The 'I cut, you choose' mechanic ensures that division decisions are always tense and interesting. After collecting your earnings, it's time to spend that cash in the black market. Use your resources to buy devious plans, hire loyal (or not-so-loyal) henchmen, and acquire valuable items that grant you unique advantages. Each card purchased can change the game, adding new strategies and making every match a new adventure. The game ends when the card market can no longer be refilled, and that's when the final scoring begins. Whoever has the most henchmen and gold earns special bonuses, but the ultimate victory goes to the player who accumulates the most notoriety points, whether from cards, items, or bonuses. Thief's Market is a fast-paced and straightforward game, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of 'take that' and a good dose of luck with the dice, but with room for planning and deceiving opponents. It's the kind of game that makes you laugh at the betrayals and celebrate the cleverest plays.
