Der Schattendieb (2001)

About this game

A card collection game where players try to collect, and then successfully play, items of jewelry in different values. There is an element of bluff as unprotected cards can be stolen by judicious play of the thieves, as well as a "sudden-death" mechanic where players can go out early, leaving the remaining players with no chance to score.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 7.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
