What I'm Playing now plays through a two player game of Stop Thief! from Restoration Games.

I still have thr 1979 version. Great game

[@Number4lead]

This is my all time favorite board game. My brother has the original, when they reprinted it I had to have it.

Great Playthrough! Updated app with new modes out now and version 2 of the rulebook and game being released in October 2019 by the sounds of it on BGG

Thanks we love the game and can't wait to see the new stuff

[@attiliocapuozzo5105]

Congrats for the video. Would you be so kind as to send me the full scan of the rulesbook? Thanks.

OMG I recall playing this game with friends when I was a kid - I assume the "phone" in the original doesnt get used and is repalced by an app - NOTE I was so keen I posted this as I started to watch - Im wondering if they updated the sound effects

[@pasha21363]

yeah your phone OR tablet device is your scanner pretty much

[@cashenjoe1]

Forgot to pay for the private tips a few times but otherwise a very fun game!

[@Number4lead]

Does the newer require payment for private tips? I didn't notice.

[@pasha21363]

also they forgot to add 2k dollars because thief committed another crime (Thief moved to another red space) in the same building

[@sha11235]

Gee, I didn't know the game was redone.

[@Whatimplayingnowpodcast]

This version is really well implemented with the app and using the cards for movement over the roll and move mechanics of the original.

[@sha11235]

@@Whatimplayingnowpodcast I like the older stuff better. It's what I grew up with.

[@Yoeddy1]

This game sucks. The one from 1977 with the electronic crime scanner is the one to have.

79 yup I agree

[@atomiccritter6492]

@@MaxxZimonick I think the replacement of cards to determine movement and add asymmetry and powers is a good idea. One great thing though about old games that rely on roll and move is that they are CLEARLY symmetric and I can imagine some families may get players that think certain characters have more chance of winning and it causing arguments

[@pasha21363]

@@atomiccritter6492 speaking of arguments there is 1 thief card that says While at large: Anyone arguing about the rules must put 1k dollars to this card!!! another intresting thing about the app is the app itself will tell who goes first e.g. "The first player is the player with the shortest name"
