Read the full game description
Thief's Market is an interactive drafting game about splitting a successful heist. Players roll a colorful pool of loot dice, divide the haul into lots, and take turns claiming one—unless a later thief steals it and forces another choice. Dice and coins buy specialists, relics, and opportunities from a changing market. Every acquisition reshapes future turns, and the richest-looking lot is not always the one that creates the strongest criminal engine.
