1000 and One Treasures

Rob the Thieves!

Ali Baba and his friends have found the cave of the Forty Thieves, and want to rob the thieves of as many treasures as possible before they come back. The cave is laid out with the starting tiles, the Bandit Chief starts at his tent. TO start you place your man on any tile in cave, but each tile can only accommodate one man. In your turn you count the treasures on the tile you stand on and move along as many tiles in any direction. You may only step on a tile once in a turn and cannot pass through walls, If you are blocked in all direction by other men or walls, Ali Baba’s Genie in a Bottle helps you, you can place your man on any tile of your choice.  If you leave the cave you cannot return.

When you have finished moving your man, you pick up the tile where you started your move, and draw a new one from the stack to replace it. If the new tile shows the Bandit Chief, you must advance the Bandit Chief one step nearer to the entrance. When the last player has left the cave before the Bandit Chief arrives at the entrance or if he reaches the cave entrance the game ends. If you have left the cave and have collected the most treasures, you win.

If you play with younger children you roll a die for the movement of your man and the men need not leave the cave. The game ends when the Bandit Chief reaches the entrance, the player with most treasures wins. 

A fine conversion of the fairy tale! The variant without die is a good family game, too. It teaches tactical considerations: How can I move to stay in the cave as long as possible to get many treasures and when is it essential to leave?
