All other players will try to predict what card the Thief will take and attempt to stop them. If predicted correctly, the Thief is caught and a reward is given to the captor. Otherwise, the treasure is taken. Along with Treasures, Officials will be corruptible and make future thefts even more cunning and deceitful.
