Description

Thieves in the Wood is a classic board game that's been entertaining families since 1976. Designed by Olaf Olsen, this simple yet engaging game is perfect for kids and adults alike, with easy-to-learn rules that can be explained in no time. In this fun-filled game, 2 to 6 players take on the role of farmers trying to bring their year's income to the bank, but there's a catch - the path is infested with thieves. Players must navigate this challenging journey, deciding whether to buy weapons to protect themselves or take their chances. As players roll and move through the wood, they'll encounter thieves who can steal their money, leaving them penniless and forced to become thieves themselves. But don't worry, there's still a chance to turn your fortunes around - by robbing another farmer, you can get back in the game. The goal is to be the richest player when all farmers have reached the bank, with those who arrive early earning interest on their money. With its unique blend of strategy and luck, Thieves in the Wood is a thrilling game that's sure to delight players of all ages. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, it's the perfect addition to any family game night.
