Gold Thief (2006)

About this game

Each player has a pool of gold, which everyone else wants to steal. Players have a secret goal of how much gold they need in their pool to win. Playing cards on other players moves gold and cards around, or blocks those actions. A player wins a round by starting their turn with their target amount of gold. The first player to win three rounds wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 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.
