Tjuv och polis

Set the stage for a thrilling chase between robbers and the police in the classic Swedish game 'Tjuv och Polis'! Released in 1944, this game offers a cat-and-mouse dynamic where one player takes on the role of law enforcement, complete with a police car and several officers, while the others become cunning criminals. The robbers' objective is straightforward: hit banks and post offices, grab the ill-gotten gains, and stash it in a safe hideout before planning their escape from the country via train, plane, or ship. Meanwhile, the police are hot on their heels, trying to apprehend the culprits. Those caught face a jail sentence determined by a dice roll, but with a chance to escape. Accumulate four arrests, and the robber is out! A curious (and perhaps slightly questionable) detail is that the police receive a 'bonus' from the money the captured robber was carrying. In the end, whoever has the most cash, whether robber or police, claims victory. Featuring components like a board, police and robber pieces, a die, and money, 'Tjuv och Polis' provides a nostalgic and fun gaming experience for the whole family, ideal for those who enjoy games with a touch of luck and light strategy.
