Thieves has a beautiful box. It achieves a quality few games even attempt: it’s elegant. It speaks of sophistication, of the shelves of John Lewis and a future life nestled against a wooden backgammon set. But there are a few things that hint this is a first-time effort: a lack of images of the game in play, too much of the back cover spent on the Norse myth the game is loosely based on and a lack of anything that explains what the game really is.
