About the game
What you do in a play session
In Thieves, two players compete to steal a treasure hidden in the heart of a maze. With doors that open and close with every roll of the dice, you control a gang of thieves in search of gold, safety, and an escape route. The game blends strategy and luck, requiring you to constantly adapt to the twists of fate. Each game is unique, and while luck may influence specific moments, strategy will be decisive in the long run. The rules are simple and quick to learn, and a game lasts about 30 minutes — but the excitement can extend or shorten this time. Get ready for a brain-teasing challenge full of twists!
