Description

In Pickpockets, you'll join a group of sneaky thieves trying to snatch as much cash as possible from a wallet, but beware - one of you might be an undercover cop. With simple rules that can be learned quickly, 3 to 4 players can dive into this fast-paced game, lasting around 15 to 30 minutes. As you take turns drawing or manipulating money cards, you'll need to use your deduction skills to figure out who's on your side and who's out to catch you. The game takes a thrilling turn when a player yells "Hands up," revealing themselves as the undercover cop. If they've caught at least one thief with two or more marked bills, they win. Otherwise, the pickpocket with the most cash takes the prize, or a player can skip town if they've managed to collect enough unmarked money. With its unique blend of deduction, hand management, and push-your-luck mechanics, Pickpockets is a thrilling card game that's full of surprises.
