About the game
In Thieves of Eldris, fortunes are forged in the shadows, one stolen coin at a time. Amid the chaos of bustling merchants, you lurk in the shadows, eyes locked on your target, ready to slice their coin purse and make off with the spoils. The Thieves' Guild has taken notice of your talents, but earning your place among them won't be easy. To prove your skill, you must outwit your rivals, steal from your targets, and keep your true identity hidden. Roll the dice to navigate the crowded square, rearranging townsfolk and setting up daring heists. Slip past rival thieves undetected, and when the time is right, liberate your targets of their precious coin. But beware, one wrong move and your rivals might expose you, stealing not only your newfound riches, but your invitation to the Thieves' Guild. Will you become the guild's newest initiate, or will your ambitions leave you penniless in the gutter? —description from the publisher
