About the game
In the dark kingdom of goblins, the order has been given: plunder and rob the neighboring realm in search of the most coveted treasures. We, the thieving goblins, will take on the challenge of filling the king goblin's bag with the most valuable loot, thus feeding his insatiable greed. However, we face a dilemma: we must control our own greed and be selective about which treasures to add to the bag, as it has limits both in terms of space and weight it can bear. It is crucial that we proceed with caution and wisdom in selecting the treasures, as no goblin wishes to be responsible for breaking the bag. The risk of breaking the bag is considerable; if we succumb to temptation and exceed its capabilities, we will face severe consequences. Not only will we lose half of our loot to the king goblin. Are we ready for the challenge of plundering and for blaming our fellow goblins for their incompetence? It is time to demonstrate our skill in the art of theft and cunning in treasure management. Let the adventure begin. —description from the publisher
