About this board game

Prowler’s Passage is a two-player strategy game that plays in about 25 minutes, challenging rival thieves to tunnel beneath a sleeping city and claim its hidden wealth.

The city gates may be guarded, but the underground is yours to explore. On each turn, place a passage, collect the tile where you placed it, and move control markers for the districts next to that passage. Your growing network can help you create the longest continuous passage while your collected tiles provide additional ways to build wealth.

  • Item tiles: Collect matching items and score them in sets during scoring phases.
  • Shovel tiles: Move district control markers farther, helping you contest key areas.
  • District control: Position control markers on your side of the tracks to claim district rewards.
  • Statues and achievements: Steal statues and complete achievements for additional wealth.

Scoring takes place twice during the game. Players gain wealth for the sections in their longest continuous passage, the statues they have stolen, sets of items, and each district they control. Achievements provide wealth during the final scoring phase.

Every placement can shape the underground network, influence nearby districts, and determine which valuable tile becomes available. You must act quickly, because your rival is pursuing the same riches and competing for control of the city from below.

With its focused two-player contest and multiple scoring categories, Prowler’s Passage turns tunneling, collecting, and district control into a race to become the premier prowler.
