Schieberbande

2–4 players · 45 min

Each player controls a gang of three smugglers, each of which starts with a random good worth 1-12. The smugglers move on a 7x7 grid (with one space left out in the middle). Players may move one smuggler one space each turn. After movement the smuggler has the option to exchange the good with another smuggler which stands diagonally to him. Winner of the game is the player whose smugglers reach their hiding places with the highest total number of goods.

Quite nice and clever "themed" abstract strategy game although it can be a hard fight and a bit static with equally strong opponents.
