In a bustling medina, a crafty merchant hoards a treasure trove of gold coins, fabrics, and nine stunning sapphires. As night falls, a challenge arises among thieves: whoever can steal the most sapphires will be crowned the king of thieves. Players must navigate the dangers of the forty thieves guarding the loot while trying to outsmart each other in their quest for riches.
The game involves 40 thief cards and 20 special cards, each marked with colors and symbols. Players set up a 4x4 grid of cards, hiding the sapphires in the gaps. On their turn, players draw cards, peek at one on the grid, play a card, and then attempt to arrange their symbols or colors to steal a sapphire. The game continues until all sapphires are claimed, and the player with the most gems at the end is declared the winner.
