Steal This Game

A two-player nanogame set at a board game trade fair, where one player acts as a robber and the other as an exhibitor. The exhibitor hides cash in one of several cash boxes while the robber rolls dice secretly, bluffs, guesses, and shifts cards to locate it and distract the clerk. The robber can take increasingly risky actions to gain information, but being caught in a lie forces an immediate attempt to steal without further clues. A game takes five minutes or less and fits on a postcard; players provide two dice.
