Read the full game description

A Thief's Fortune casts each player as a thief peering into several possible futures. During each round, players draft location, event, and character cards into a personal future area, placing the resources needed to bring those possibilities closer to reality. As resources are removed, cards move into the present and their actions become available. Careful sequencing builds combinations, while the shared draft forces players to weigh an ideal card against what it leaves for rivals. After five rounds, the thief who has assembled the greatest fortune across these shifting timelines wins.
