Read the full game description
Thiefdom puts rival guilds in charge of three thieves each during six nights in medieval Bacharach. Every round begins with simultaneous planning, then queued actions unfold across a modular city of eight districts. Thieves gather equipment, scout routes, steal valuables, and deliver loot while every player influences the same city guards. Moving a guard can protect your own operation or ruin a rival’s carefully timed heist. Tavern guests, equipment cards, and changing district layouts make each night a different logistical puzzle, while a dedicated solo mode preserves the pressure of planning around an active city.
