Banditti

Where is the key?

Play robber for once and steal the loot of other robbers! On a game board you this is allowed! But where is the loot hidden? Is the oil lamp in the basement? Is the sausage in the bedroom? Or will I find the money in the bathroom? Each player takes a robber house, complete with floors, walls, and roof parts for five rooms on three levels, and puts it down with the open rooms facing him. You also get five loot chips of one color and

Distribute them at your discretion in the rooms, one chip per room - basement, kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. Loot items are Hat, Key, Money, Oil lamp and Sausage.

Then players are active in turn and roll the die: If you rolled one, two or three Robber Sacks, you may pose one, two or three yes/no questions to another player, for instance “xxx, is the oil lamp in your living room?” In case of two or three questions, you can ask all questions of the same player or distribute them to different players as you like. If you rolled the gift symbol, you may demand a piece of loot from a player of your choice, without naming a room. If you asked a correct question or made a correct wish, you receive the chip and put it on your Robber Sack board. You win if you collected any five items.

In a variant for players ages 5+, you can distribute the chips any way you want, putting more than one chip into a room and leaving rooms empty.

As is the case with all Beleduc games, this one, too, impresses with enchanting components and very felicitous mechanisms that are fun to play and at the same time convey educational content - e.g. formulate questions and name items or rooms.
