Finding A Thief

Finding A Thief is an amusing mashup of the beginning of the Hobbit combined with a guessing game.

A dwarf needs a thief to come with them on their expedition to win back a long lost ancestral treasure. To persuade the halfling to come with them they have to give them their favourite food.

One player takes on the role of the dwarf, the others take on the role of halflings and in secret decide what their favourite food is.

The dwarf player goes round all the halflings and in turn offers them a type of food. If the food is their favourite the halfling agrees to go on the adventure with the dwarf. Otherwise they give the dwarf a clue as to their favourite food by mentioning something from their favourite that the offerred food lacks.

This is really more of a poem that a full-blown game but it’s a pretty amusing conceit.
