Description

Among Thieves is a game of deception and greed where you'll work together with 2 to 7 other players to extort information from high-level corporate employees. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll dive into a world of bluffing, negotiation, and simultaneous action selection. Each round, one player takes on the role of Heistmaster, choosing their team and negotiating deals that aren't always binding. As you navigate the heist, you'll have to decide whether to be honorable or dishonorable, all while trying to come out with the most money. But be careful, as the player with the least honor is eliminated. With a playtime of just 30 to 45 minutes, Among Thieves is a fast-paced game of strategy and betrayal, designed by Floyd Pretz and published in 2019. Will you share the spoils or backstab your partners in crime to keep the money for yourself?
