In a City of Thieves, the quickest hand gets the loot. You'll need to use your wits to crack your rivals' safe combination while protecting your own stash. Turn the dial until you hear CLICK! In the end, only one will achieve glory. Will you become the King of Thieves? Crack It is a game for 2 to 5 players who take on the role of a safecracker and try to figure out the combination of their rivals. During your turn you can limit a combination number of a rival box and perform as many actions as you want (and have). There are multiple actions. But don't be fooled: any action can be denied by others using ban cards. At the end of your turn, draw again until you complete your hand and pass the turn to the player on your left. If a rival's third number is revealed, his/her safe is opened and he/she is out of the fight to be the last thief standing. The game ends when there is only one safe left to be opened. Depending on the chosen game mode, the winner will be the last thief standing or the one with the most prestige points. —description from publisher
