Brigands (engl.)

Description

Brigands is a strategy game for 2 to 6 players aged 10+ with a playing time of 35 minutes. An asymmetrical deduction game where one player defends the city’s treasure as the prince, while others attempt to steal at least 50 Ducats as brigands. Players secretly deploy crew members to districts, using unique theft methods and action tokens to outwit opponents over six turns.

The King is away on vacation and has left the city and its treasure under the care of the prince. However, the brigands are aware of this opportunity and are eager to fill their pockets—if they can! Will you take the role of the prince defending the treasure, or join the brigands in their daring heist?

Brigands is an asymmetrical game of deduction and cunning where the prince faces off against rival bands of brigands. The prince’s goal is to protect the city’s coffers, while the brigands try to steal at least 50 Ducats by the end of six game turns. If no brigand manages to reach this target, the prince claims victory; otherwise, the richest brigand band wins.

Each turn, players secretly and simultaneously send three crew members to various districts in the city. Once revealed, crew members are placed accordingly. If the prince’s crew shares a district with brigands, the thieves are arrested before they can plunder. Otherwise, brigands can loot the district’s treasure, each district offering a unique way to steal. Action tokens played at the start of a turn allow players to steal from, push, or relocate other players’ crew members unexpectedly.

Thieves caught in jail face a choice: await trial or try to escape. Meanwhile, the prince improves their skills throughout the game, enhancing their ability to recover treasure or capture brigands more effectively.
