Each player starts with 8 money tokens, 3
steal
tokens, 3
deposit
tokens and 3
secure
tokens.
At the beginning of the game, each player deposits 1 money token into the bank. They're 4 players so we start the game with $4 in the bank.
During each round, you must play one token secretly (you will submit it via PM). You can either play
steal
,
deposit
or
secure
.
After everyone played a token, I will reveal everyone who played the
deposit
token. The player who played the
deposit
token must deposit $1.
Then we reveal other players.
If everyone else played
steal
, then it's a break the bank! Every thief who played
steal
token will split the loot equally with putting remaining money in the bank. Then everyone must deposit $1 into the bank to replenish the stolen bank.
However, if at least one thief played
secure
token, then it's a failure. Every thief who played steal token must pay fine to each thief who played
secure
token. The fine starts at $1 and increases every token reset. (More on token reset later)
The played token will be discarded. So you can't play
secure
token all the time. You only have 3
bullets
to steal and 3 bullets to
secure
.
Then rinse and repeat. Pick, reveal deposit, reveal steal and secure, discard, repeat.
If all tokens is played, we will return all token and increase the fine for getting caught with the
secure
token by $1.
If someone failed to pay, then that player is bankrupt. The bankrupt doesn't need to pay any obligation. I will end the game immediately after I resolved that round. The player with the most amount of money wins. But, if the bank is richer then the richest thief, the bank wins.
I mean, you try to steal a bank who is poorer than you and now the bank is richer than you? What kind of thief are you?
Round 1 is nothing.
That's how you play Internation Bank of Thieves!
