12 Thieves

Players each command a small band of thieves aiming to steal treasure from the guarded palaces of Baghdad. On a turn, players play cards to place thieves into the guard corps, swap or bribe guards they do not control, and react to opponents’ moves to manipulate control of key positions. Victory comes from collecting four treasure tokens by arranging thieves and guards favorably across the city; hand management, tactical play, and timely reactions determine who secures the loot.
