Thieves Den

About this board game

Thieves Den is a board game for 2–5 players that takes about 45 minutes to play. Set in the world of 10 Minute Heist: The Wizard’s Tower, it casts players as master thieves competing to become the new crime lord of the town.

The game unfolds over three rounds. At the start of each round, every player drafts three location cards as potential targets. These locations are public knowledge, giving everyone the opportunity to judge where the city’s most tempting treasures may be found.

Players then take turns sending their hirelings to locations to score the loot. You may send thieves to any location, including one chosen by another player. Doing so can also benefit that location’s owner, who may receive an additional prize such as extra treasure or more thieves.

• Draft three public location cards each round.
• Deploy thieves to locations and collect rewards.
• Send treasure assortments to underworld fences for reputation points.
• Barter certain treasures to Alazar, the wizard, for special powers.

During the deployment phase, thieves can also carry specific assortments of treasures to one of the fences. These deliveries increase your reputation, while building relationships with particular fences can provide bonus reputation points.

With public targets, shared rewards, valuable treasure, and special powers from Alazar, every round offers new ways to advance your criminal ambitions. After the third round, the player with the highest reputation wins. In Thieves Den, the most successful master thief claims control of the town’s underworld.
