  • Forty Thieves

    From Charles Magri@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 9 02:49:47 2022
    Forty Thieves is a new board game using playing cards, It will soon be featured in pagat.com (invented games section) and also in Gamerules.com

    It is a deceptively simple strategic game that is fun to play but a challenge to master. Ideally for 2 players, but can be adapted to 3-4. Age group is 8 up.

    The full list of videos I have made is here:

    Quick and simple, I particularly like the fact that you can literally
    just scribble the board on a blank piece of paper as needed, and use
    anything for the playing pieces. I shall playtest it with the g/f in
    the pub tonight or tomorrow with the additional rule that you must
    buy a beer when you play a square number (even if it's 2x8).

    It's a really fun game, we played it all evening last night.
    Even tried some variations. We prefered to use jacks rather
    than 10s for the thief cards, which fits the theme just as
    well as jacks are knaves. Seeing the numbers under the counters
    we were using was tricky, I propose using something like
    coloured curtain rings, or translucent perspex pieces.
