Description

In Les Toits de Paris, you're part of the Magpies, a notorious gang of thieves who rule the rooftops of Paris. Your goal is to become the most daring thief by collecting valuable items and artworks, all while avoiding the watchful eye of Detective Nightingale. The more valuables of the same type you own, the more prestigious you'll be in the gang. But beware, you're not the only one on the prowl - other Magpies will stop at nothing to get their hands on the loot. The game is divided into two phases: stealing and sharing. You'll draw cards, trying to accumulate as many valuables as possible without getting caught by the detective. The trick is to know when to stop drawing, as pushing your luck too far can end your turn and leave you empty-handed. When you do decide to stop, you'll get to take a certain number of cards, depending on how risky you were. But that's not all - some cards are under surveillance, and if you're not careful, you could end up discarding all your hard-earned loot. With its unique blend of strategy and luck, Les Toits de Paris is a thrilling game that's perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a quick and exciting challenge.
