Thieves in the Wood

Each player is a farmer trying to bring his year's income (1000 thalers) to the bank. Unfortunately, the path traverses a wood infested with thieves. Should one buy weapons before setting off? If a farmer is left penniless, he becomes a thief in his turn --until he robs another farmer. Those farmers that make it early to the bank get to collect interest whilst waiting for the others. And you can try to steal the thieves' treasure, too...

Richest player when all have reached the bank wins.
