2007 · Novel-based

Fagin's Gang

Players take the role of gang members running a band of five street urchins across Dickensian London to steal goods, avoid constables, and trade at market. Each urchin occupies one of six neighborhoods (one is always inaccessible), and players use stolen items both to move around the city and to support other urchins at distant locations. Periodic meetings at Smithfield Market allow trading of booty and exchanging resources for cash. Players balance goods and money to pursue economic victory while managing risk from police presence and limited movement options.

    It's not a bad game, but I found it a bit tedious after a while - and the theme somewhat lacking. See my review for more details...

    Puntuación Otorgada tras una partida. Ni frio ni calor, de momento estoy siendo generoso con la puntuación, tiene alguna mecánica tediosa como la de mover los policias.
