Stolen Paintings (Inglés)

HOW TO PLAY

Each round a player takes the role of Thief, and steals 1-3 paintings from the Museum Exhibit. The other players, as Detectives, will them try to spot the stolen painting(s).

To start, shuffle all the Painting Cards together into a face-down deck, then the Thief creates the Museum Exhibit by drawing the first 24 painting cards and placing them face-up in a display. Once all the cards are in place, the Thief turns over the sand timer and all Detectives have this time to observe the paintings.

When the timer runs out, the Detectives must close their eyes. The Thief then steals 1, 2 or 3 paintings from the Exhibit. The Thief then gathers the remaining painting from the Exhibit and discards them from the game. The Detectives keep their eyes closed, while the Thief draws additional paintings from the deck until he has 8 total, including the stolen paintings. The Thief then places all 8 paintings face-up in a row, and assigns each painting a number token. The Thief notes on their score pad which paintings were stolen.

The Detective now open their eyes, and try to determine which of the 8 paintings were stolen from the original Museum Exhibit. Each Detective secretly notes their guess(es) on their score pad, once all Detectives are ready their guesses are revealed. The Thief then reveals which paintings were stolen and Detectives score points for correctly determining the stolen paintings. The Thief will score points for for paintings stolen that are not identified by the Detectives.

The player to the left of the Thief becoming the Thief for the next round. Play continues this way with each player getting a turn as the Thief. After the final round, the player with the most points wins.
