Clumsy Thief (2013)

About this game

A hilarious, fast-paced card game reinforcing double digit addition skills. The cards consist of various money cards and a few thief and jail cards. The goal is for players to collect the most money. The game starts with players making piles of two cards that add up to $100. Once these starting piles have been made, the stealing can begin. You can steal a pile by putting a money card on top of the pile but the total of the top two cards must always equal $100. Slide the stolen pile to your side of the table. Piles can be stolen over and over again. A Thief card can steal a money pile. A Jail card can steal a pile with a Thief card. The player with the most money when the cards run out wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 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.
