In Pickpocket, players play as rival thieves trying to get as many purses, keys, vials and jewellery as possible in order to build up a bigger nest egg than their rivals. To do so, each player has the choice between drawing a card to complete the chain of items to be won and leaving the inn with the loot already in play. Based on the "stop or else" principle, Pickpocket is a risk-taking game in which players are constantly torn between immediately pocketing a small reward and trying to win more but risking losing it all!
The winner is the player who has pocketed the most loot at the end of the game. Sealing the meeting between Reiner Knizia, prolific German author and two-time winner of the Spiel des Jahres in 2008, and the wildly humorous Belgians from Repos Prod. Pickpocket is a fun game with simple mechanisms that will please the whole family.
