PLAYED FOR YOU

Ali

THieves and Treasures

45 treasure cards including nine shiny, noisy and encumbering treasures and the Chief Thief card. In turn, one player is Ali and the others are thieves. Ali turns up treasure cards one by one and takes them up; after each card the currently active thief must repeat all treasures uncovered so far, in any order, identical treasures are added up! If Ali turns up one of the special treasures, Ali takes a corresponding alarm marker. A round ends in one of three ways: A thief makes a mistake, Ali has collected three identical or three different markers or Ali voluntarily stops turning up cards. When the round ends with a thief’s mistake, Ali chooses three cards from his hand and then in turn Ali and all thieves but the one who made the mistake choose one treasure card. When Ali stops the says “Open Sesame” and he and all thieves share the treasures, in turn choosing one card from Ali’s hand. In case of three markers for Ali the thieves share the treasures, choosing one in turn. All players stack their cards face-down. Then the next player becomes Ali, and so on. When the Chief Thief turns up the game ends at the end of this round; the Chief Thief card is handled like a treasure card. Should the draw pile end in this round, too, Ali is supposed to have stopped voluntarily. All now score one point for each kind of treasure in their stack, not for each treasure card! In Variants you need to list treasures in correct order or add an adjective to each treasure.

Ali is a very nice version of „I put into my suitcase …“, offering a little bit of tactic to the Ali player. All in all a very attractive family game!
