About the game
Description from the publisher: While master thieves hide in the shadows and plan their next moves, two new characters enter the city. At first, they don’t seem very suspicious – just an elderly lady with a rusty cat and a wandering actor. However, appearances can be deceptive and the new characters will soon prove that! Age of Thieves: Masters of Disguise is the first expansion for the unique game Age of Thieves, in which players impersonate the masters of shadows and try to steal the precious Emperors Jewel. The expansion introduces two new characters along with miniatures, special abilities and character sheets, entirely new mechanics (burglary and sewer cards) and a unique scenario.
