Swindler
Swindle your way through Victorian London, stealing coins, jewelry, and other loot from wealthy moneybags. Draw tokens from a chosen bag, but press your luck too far and a skull leaves you empty-handed while costing loot previously taken from that bag. Turn in loot to dealers for points or complete orders before fellow swindlers claim them. Hire accomplices to gain advantages or hinder other players, and manage when to cash in your stolen goods. The player with the most points after a set number of rounds wins.
