Caylus - The Guild of Thieves
The Guild of Thieves - A fanmade tile for Caylus. Designed by Dan Rosewater. Caylus is copyrighted and designed by William Attia. The game is published by Ystari Games.
Dan Rosewater apparently is a big Caylus fan. In addition to The Hospital and The Royal Luxury Tailor, he has come up with another cool mini-extension for Caylus: The Guild of Thieves.
Building the guild costs one stone and two victory points, making it the first Caylus building to cost victory points. There is of course an excellent reason: the King does not like Thieves which causes a little penalty. However, consider this a good investment as the building allows players to steal one goods cube from other players. Therefore, it's favorable to build the Guild of Thieves, if you can be pretty sure that you are high up on the turn order track.
The Guild of Thieves (variant) - (c) as above.
For those of us who might consider this a little bit too influential, Dan has created a variant causing the loss of only one victory point. As a result the guild is not as powerful and allows you to "only" steal a denar from your competition.
In addition to this variant, Dan has also created some advanced rules to balance the card a little bit. But why don't you download the file from BoardGameGeek (click here)? I think, all of Dan's tiles make a fun extension four the next Caylus session...
